Tinker not using php 7

When I run tinker it uses php 5 (not 7) so dies on all my php 7 code. Is there anyway to upgrade it to work with the latest version of php?

thanks,

it uses the php version available to your command line. It's not tinker's problem.

try php -v from the command line.

Yep, just discovered that! I had my env path set to the actual php file rather than the directory that contained it.
