PHP Version Issue
Hi Guys,
Just factory reset my iMac. Reinstalling everything.
My Laravel project is currently running on php version 7.4.9 on localhost. On my live server I'm running php 7.2
How can I change my php version on my localhost to match my live server?
I've used brew to uninstall all version of php and then reinstalled php 7.2. I then installed laravel valet, but my php version on my local laravel project still runs on php 7.4.9

Composer.json: php": "^7.1.3
On Mac: PHP 7.3.21
Laravel Project: PHP Version 7.4.9

if you have multiple versions of php on your machine, you can tell valet what version to use
valet use php@version
To update project to use the same php v as machine
delete composer.lock update php version in composer.json composer install

Did all that, Valet is now using php 7.2, but no matter what I do the phpinfo() function within my laravel project still show that its running on php 7.4.9

Is Valet actually serving the request?

Yea my project is accessible via https://myproject.test

Whenever you run valet use [email protected], do you see:
Stopping php...
Unlinking current version: php
Linking new version: [email protected]
Updating PHP configuration...
Restarting [email protected]...
Restarting nginx...
Valet is now using [email protected].

Yes I seen exactly that but it didn't change the phpinfo page.
Tried restarting valet etc.... Still no change.
However, I tried restarting my mac and its now displaying the correct php version.
Thanks for your help guys.
