phpinfo() and "php -v" show different version

[innerfly]

I have XAMPP 5.6.3 installed. When I check PHP version with phpinfo(), the version is correct 5.6.3. But when I type 'php -v' in windows command line, I get 'PHP 5.3.6 (cli) (built: Mar 17 2011 10:48:37)'. Because of this problem I can't install PHP framework via Composer, that need PHP version above 5.4. How can I fix it?

Where did you type in php -v?
If i type that in an XAMPP Shell command line window i get the following info:

Code: Select all

# php -v
PHP 5.6.3 (cli) (built: Nov 12 2014 17:18:08)

Did you install an standalone version of PHP on your system?
Does your PATH variable contain a php bin folder?

Hello Altrea. I tried to run 'php -v' in XAMPP shell and get the same as your result - PHP 5.6.3 (cli) (built: Nov 12 2014 17:18:08). When I run it in the Windows commant prompt, I get PHP version 5.3.6.

Solved. I check the PATH variable and it contains: C:\Program Files (x86)\Drush\Php; C:\xampp\php;
So I have installed Drupal shell with own PHP 5.3.6 version.
Thank you for help!
