How to Set Default PHP Version on Debian
You can set the default PHP version using the update-alternatives command.
If you have multiple versions of PHP installed, there could be some situations that might make you choose a default version to use.
You can list the paths of the installed PHP versions by running the command update-alternatives --list php.
update-alternatives --list phpSample output;
/usr/bin/php8.0
/usr/bin/php8.1
/usr/bin/php8.2Thus, to set the default PHP version, you can use the update-alternatives command with the --config option followed by the path of the desired PHP version. For example, to set PHP version 8.1 as the default PHP version, run the command;
update-alternatives --config php /usr/bin/php8.1You can also run the command interactively by omitting the path to PHP;
update-alternatives --config php
There are 3 choices for the alternative php (providing /usr/bin/php).
