Mavericks PHP versions issue I just ran the command below to update PHP on my system (twice, forgot I ran it before).

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 5.5


Output

Detected OS X Mavericks 10.9 All ok.

However when I run php --version I get 

PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Aug 25 2013 02:03:38) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies

which php tells me `/usr/bin/php`


How can I get my system to use 5.5 ?
try

/usr/local/php5/bin/php --version


If you want that php to become the default when you type php at the command line, run this:

echo "alias php='/usr/local/php5/bin/php'"&gt;&gt;~/.bash_profile


then close your terminal and open a new one or run

. ~/.bash_profile
