I have High Sierra installed and it comes with php 7.1. During the environment I ended up being able to upgrade to php7.2 but wasn’t able to document it, so I dont exactly know what I did. Now, I am trying to switch to php 7.3
Using brew, I ran the following commands:
brew unlink php@7.2 brew services install php@7.3 brew link php@7.3
If I restart my terminal and check for the php version:
php -v
I still see 7.2.25 version and not 7.3 as I desire
I also tried with a node package that I found in this link here but no success.
How do I successfully switch between php versions?

Answer
Here is my installation script:
brew install php@7.2
brew link --force php@7.2
brew services start php@7.2
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.2/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.2/sbin:$PATH"
Now my output would be as:
$ php -v PHP 7.2.25 (cli) (built: Nov 22 2019 10:27:28) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.25, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies
I think the PATH
environment setup is something matters. And it does show in instructions as part of the installation process though.
Hope it helps resolving your issue.
