Change 'which' file is used

JJ07 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2008

Hi All.

I have 2 copies of PHP on my machine, one is version 4 and one is version 5, installed by MAMP.

When i type: which php it defaults to /usr/php but i want it to use: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/php

How can i change this? Im guessing i need to change some variable but im not sure which one.

Oh btw, i am using mac, but i also use openBSD.

Thanks

It would seem you would have a couple of choices here:
a. Remove version 4
b. Move version 4 and link /usr/php to version 5
c. Set your PATH variable to find version 5 directory, then version 4 directory.

The choice matters on if you still need version 4 for something.
