How to change default php-cli version

[myVesta]

Globally:

Code: Select all

# be logged as root
update-alternatives --config php

or if you know exact version:

Code: Select all

# be logged as root
update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php8.2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Per user account:

Code: Select all

# be logged as desired user
alias php='php8.2'
echo "alias php='php8.2'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

This method does not always give the desired result, in that case you have to globally change the PHP version, perform the desired task, and then restore the old PHP version.

For wp-cli you can change PHP version this way - viewtopic.php?f=18&t=760
