how to force us the php 8.1 installed using home brew?

I Have installed MAMP in my mac, Using the php version of 7.4.

command which php

returns - /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.21/bin/php

I have installed php 8.1 using brew. I comment the ~/.bash_profile

# export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.21/bin:$PATH
# alias mysql=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql
# export PATH="/usr/local/opt/node@13/bin:$PATH"

but still its show the same php path . How to shift to newly installed php version?

Solution

  • You have to link which version of PHP you want to use.

    brew unlink php will unlink the current version of PHP.
    brew link php@8.1 will link with PHP 8.1 (you need to install it before)
