Answer 1

In order for the PHPStorm interpreter to work correctly, you need to specify the full path to the interpreter. This can be done in two ways:

1. Specify the path /usr/bin/phpand change the symlink ($PATH) to the new PHP version.
   
2. Use full path to php8 interpreter. For example /usr/bin/php8.0, /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.16/bin/phpetc. Your path may be different.
   

To find out the path of the current interpreter, you can run the command:

$ which php
: /usr/bin/php
