    How to overwrite default php installation

    On my linux system php seems to have been installed by default. When I
    type:

    "which php" it tells me /usr/bin/php

    I installed php and it has put an executable in the /usr/local/bin/php

    "which php" still says /usr/bin/php

    "whereis php"
    php: /etc/php.ini /usr/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php
    /usr/local/lib/php.ini

    /usr/local/lib/php -v shows the new version but php -v shows the old
    version.

    How can I correct this problem?

    I want to run the command php -v and it shows the newest version.

    I have already tried removing /etc/php.ini /usr/bin/php

      echo $PATH

      You can fix the problem by placing "/usr/local/lib/php" BEFORE
      "/usr/bin/php" in the PATH environment variable.

          To fix the problem try to set "/usr/local/bin" BEFORE
          "/usr/bin" in the PATH environment variable.
