Laravel valet using wrong version of PHP

I'm running valet 2.0.5 and it is using the wrong version of PHP. When starting valet I get

$ valet start
Restarting php71...
Restarting nginx...
Valet services have been started.

But phpinfo() gives PHP Version 5.6.30 and Loaded Configuration File: /usr/local/etc/php/5.6/php.ini.

I've installed and relinked php using brew, 

$ which php
/usr/local/opt/php71/bin/php

$ php -v
PHP 7.1.7

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling valet, to no avail.

Solution

  • Uncommenting LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf did the trick. I don't really know why this worked, but I'm not complaining.
