I use PHPStorm on OSX with PHPUnit and Laravel.
When I go inside my project from the PHPStorm console and type:
$ php --version
PHP 5.5.29 (cli) (built: Sep 9 2015 00:26:40)
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
$ which php
/usr/bin/php
From my terminal:
$ php --version
PHP 5.6.16 (cli) (built: Nov 27 2015 21:37:15)
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2015, by Zend Technologies
with Xdebug v2.2.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2014, by Derick Rethans
$ which php
/usr/local/php5/bin/php
The above I installed. I have edited my PATH to use it.
Now I want to change the PHP version inside my PHPStorm.
I tried editing composer.json:
"require": {
"php": ">=5.6.16",
and then running update:
$ composer update
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- This package requires php >=5.6.16 but your PHP version (5.5.29) does not satisfy that requirement.
I also tried to create a symbolic link .
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/php5/bin/php /usr/bin/php
It fails with:
ln: /usr/bin/php: Operation not permitted
I am not sure what to do. I would like to update Php to 5.6.16.
It appears you have at least two versions of Php installed.
Try changing the interpreter path within PhpStorm.
File->settings->languages & frameworks->interpreter ...
