Why I have 2 version PHP inside my computer?

I have a problem with my current PHP version.

When I open cmd and first check of my php version :

C:\Users\me>php -v
PHP 5.3.24 <cli> ..... (and so on)

but, when I move my current location of prompt to inside xampp/php folder, it looks like this :

C:\xampp\php>php -v
PHP 5.5.9 <cli> ..... (and so on)

Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

Seems like you have two installations of PHP on your computer. 5.5.9 is the version of your php installation in C:\xampp\php. The other version (5.3.24) must be installed somewhere else on your computer and is probably registered as Path variable, that's why you can call that php file from any location.

Check your Path variable in your environment variables for an entry pointing to another php-installation.

Answer is simple, You had installed 2 version in your of PHP. One you install is by normal way like

 sudo apt-get install php-5

and then you tried to install Xampp. whenever you start Xampp server you will get access to other version. To use 5.3 version you will need to install separate package of Apache and MySql.
