How to Update PHP CLI Version

[manojkumarcdo]

Hello, Guys,

PHP CLI is used for developing applications in PHP that can be automated with Cron jobs, for administration, testing and other tasks, suitable for shell usage.

I have created a video walkthrough on PHP CLI update. I hope, You like it.

That was an excellent video!  But I still can't get it to work.  I followed your steps to the letter but SSH keeps telling me the following:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/imagick.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/imagick.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I can not get the PHP (cli) version to change no matter which values I change (it's as if alias isn't working) or which version I change it to.  Is there something I've overlooking?  Please help!

UPDATE: Never mind!  I got it!  I just had to eliminate the single quote marks, typing only the following:  

alias php=/opt/alt/php71/usr/bin/php

Thank you!!
