different result between phpinfo.php and php-v

i was using appserv 5.8 and in my phpinfo.php the php version was 5.6.26 now i installed laravel5.5 and its required phpversion 7 so i changed the php version to 7 from 5 now in my phpinfo.php

PHP Version 7.0.11

and when i write in the command 

php -v

its give me 

PHP 5.6.26 (cli) (built: Sep 15 2016 18:12:07)
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

and i cant install the packages with laravel 5.5 bc the version in command line is 5.6 not 7 but when i check in phpinfo its 7 i have read something thats the command php -v tack the version from php-cli so how can i change the php -v to be 7.0.1 as phpinfo.php thanks ..

For me(Windows) changing CLI version also didn't work, finally changing PHP version at Environment Variable PATH worked!!

phpinfo.php shows what version of PHP Apache is using. -v shows what's in your $PATH.

If you're on a Mac I recommend using homebrew to install php 7 as described here

To clarify, PHP can be run in 3 ways: behind a web server, for command line scripting, and for GUI building. You have 2 versions: the web server one, which Apache is calling and invoking phpinfo.php, and PHP-CLI, which is invoked from the command line with php -v.

You have two PHP binaries installed. In my Mac OSX:

$ which php
/usr/local/bin/php

$ /usr/local/bin/php -v
PHP 7.0.20 (cli) (built: Jul 12 2017 09:47:44) ( NTS )

And in same machine:

$ whereis php
/usr/bin/php

$ /usr/bin/php -v
PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Feb  7 2017 16:18:37)

You should put /usr/local/bin in your PATH. Edit ~/.bash_profile

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

Open a new terminal and check your php version.

It seems like your PHP CLI version is different than the PHP web version. Upgrade your PHP CLI package.
