I have High Sierra installed and it comes with php 7.1. During the environment I ended up being able to upgrade to php7.2 but wasn't able to document it, so I dont exactly know what I did. Now, I am trying to switch to php 7.3
Using brew, I ran the following commands:
brew unlink [email protected]
brew services install [email protected]
brew link [email protected]
If I restart my terminal and check for the php version:
php -v
I still see 7.2.25 version and not 7.3 as I desire
I also tried with a node package that I found in this link here but no success.
How do I successfully switch between php versions?
Here is my installation script:
brew install [email protected]brew link --force [email protected]brew services start [email protected]export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"Now my output would be as:
$ php -v

I think the PATH environment setup is something matters. And it does show in instructions as part of the installation process though.
Hope it helps resolving your issue.
