linux - How can I change php-cli version on Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

I am new to using Linux and I broke some php settings while tampering.

If I execute a php script containing: phpinfo(); it shows the php versions as 5.6, but via the command line, if I run php -v it returns a version of 7.0.

I want to have both versions match.
How can i fix my command line PATH to also use php 5.6?

Answer 1

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6
