when I run the php command in Ubuntu, it points to another version of php installed. I want php command to refer to my lampp installed version of php.
When I type where is PHP, it gives me a list of all multiple strings, the first one being the version 7.x which i do not want. I need the third one which is the lampp installation version of php. How do I change the php path to the desired one (3rd string ie. '/opt/lampp/bin/php')
php ubuntu terminal path lampp

You can create an alias. To create an alias permanently, add the alias to the end of your ~/.bashrc file:
- At the command prompt, type
vi ~/.bashrc
- Press
SHIFT+Gkeys to go to the bottom of the file - Press
okey to insert new line. - Enter
alias php=/opt/lampp/bin/php
- Press
Esckey to exist insert mode. - Press
:wqkeys to save and quitvi
- Run
. ~/.bashrcto reprocess your~/.bashrcfile and to have the alias take effect.
Now, when you execute php it will run /opt/lampp/bin/php which is what you want.
