Question

I have a problem in my red hat server.
previously it was installed with php 5.2..
Then i upgrade to php 5.3.8 with reimi repo..
if use phpinfo() it display 5.3.8 version.
but from command line

php -v
PHP 5.2.17 (cli) (built: Nov 18 2011 18:55:39) Copyright (c)

with Xdebug v2.1.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2011, by Derick Rethans

this is installed packages:

rpm -qa | grep php
php-mysql-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1
php-pdo-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1 php-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1
php-mbstring-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1 php-pear-1.9.4-3.el5.remi
php-cli-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1 php-xml-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1
php-common-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1 php-gd-5.3.8-5.el5.remi.1

can i force apache to point to php 5.3 instead of 5.2 when command ‘php -v’

Answer 1

Your CLI PHP has nothing to do with Web-Server. If you see 5.3.8 in your phpinfo() output, then you got what you want. You might upgrade your PHP CLI.
