Switching PHP versions on mac
Hi there, I'm trying to switch to an older version than the pre-installed version with no luck. I've tried to link the old version using brew
brew unlink [email protected] && brew link --force [email protected]
and that's seems to go fine
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.2.34_4.reinstall.reinstall... 14 symlinks removed.
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.2.34_4.reinstall.reinstall... 14 symlinks created.
If you need to have this software first in your PATH instead consider running:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
but when I check again for the php version it still uses the php7.3 which is pre-installed and I cann't use it with valet either
➜ ~ php -v

I'll give a try... thanks Snapey
Maybe you have it set it in your zsh path?
I had recently the same problem: Changed php version with brew and valet and everything was set correctly but it still used the old version on the command line.
Checked my path settings and there it was: absolute path to the old php binary. Once I removed that, the new version was correctly loaded.
