Why does php -v show the old version?

Question

PHP

I set PHP 5.6 in the OpenServer settings. Going into PHPInfo gives out 5.6.3. There is an error like this when using Laravel 5

Problem 1
    - This package requires php >=5.5.9 but your PHP version (5.4.35) does not satisfy that requirement.

Registered in the console php -v . Issued version 5.4.35, although in the settings and PHPInfo is 5.6.3! Help, half a day is destroyed ..

Answer 1

matches path in phpinfo?

Answer 3

It looks like you have 2 versions of php. in detail

Answer 4

It also happens that you have Composer installed, and during installation it requires you to specify which version of php to associate it with, and accordingly makes this version global. Those. when changing the php version, you should also reinstall composer.. (this was the case for me. windows 10 + openserver)
