I´m working on Windows 7 and I have 2 Xampp installations:

  • One with PHP 5.6.24
  • Another with PHP 7.2.2

I have tried starting each Xampp individually and phpinfo() gives me the correct PHP version, but if I do php -v I always get that the PHP version is 6.6.24

This is causing the installation issue that shows the following output:

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find package symfony/skeleton with stability stable in a version installable using your PHP version 5.6.24.

Is there a way of indicating the OS which PHP version to use? I was thinking that perhaps using environment variables could be the solution.

  • @Veve you are right, its possible to have to different PHP versions and the system environment variable path must contain the version to be used. – Alvaro Garcia Solano Feb 20 '18 at 19:00

Edit by the OP to the question:

It has been resolved by adding the php directory to system environment variable PATH.
