Question

I have just installed the latest PHP in my Mac OS X from entrophy.ch.

I set the /etc/apache/httpd.conf like that:

LoadModule php5_lib local/php5/libphp5.so

Where local/php5/libphp5.so is the latest one.

I have also started apache by :

apachectl restart

Then I run php.
in browser: localhost/phpinfo.php i get the latest version 5.3 that’s good.
however, in command line, I’m still running the old 5.2.1 version. What should I do to make the command line run the latest one?

Answer 1

Try this:

sudo mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php5.2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/php5/bin/php /usr/bin/php

This assumes that your PHP 5.3 binary is at /usr/local/php5/bin/php and that your 5.2 binary was at /usr/bin/php
