Changing xampp php version

Hello,

I am trying to alter my XAMPP php version, yet having a trouble in doing so.

E:\xampp74\htdocs\php -v

7.2

E:\xampp74\php\php -v

7.4

Isn't this weird ?

I expect both of them to be 7.4 since I want to install laravel 8.0

Any clue why?

it's hardly go wrong if you direct download and extract/install from the original source. You should double check the source you download, copy and extract/save are as the same. i suspected that you did the wrong in either one step...

or, redownload or simply download the php version to overwrite it...

I thought installing a new version of XAMPP will automatically alter the php version ? Is this true ?

See I download the XAMPP from this:
