Currently on composer install I get the error need 5.5.9 but using 5.4 but on Hostgator cpanal it’s set as 5.5
On php -v I get
PHP 5.4.45
On php --ini I get
Configuration file (php.ini) Path: /opt/php54/lib
When going into /opt/ There is a php54, php55 and php56
How do I change my version to 5.5
I saw the following example on this link
$ php -v PHP 5.4.x (cli) ... $ set PATH="/usr/lib64/php5.6/bin:$PATH" $ php -v PHP 5.6.x (cli) ...
But when going into /usr/lib64 there’s no php5.6
On my index file in the webserver I did a phpinfo() and it’s set as 5.5
Anyone got any ideas

Answer
On my hostgator shared hosting, the php 5.6 executable is located at /opt/php56/bin/php
You can use ls /opt to see if the php version folders exist.
So if you want to update your php command with 5.6 you should edit your ~/.bash_profile and append the following line:
alias php='/opt/php56/bin/php'
You might have to logout and log in again if you dont see a change.
Now, when you use php -v it should say 5.6.x if you have done it right.
This works the same with 7.0 and any other php versions should be located in the same dir.
