WP CLI info showing correct PHP binary but wrong version of PHP

by

When a run a command such as wp plugin update I get the message:
“Your server is running PHP version 5.4.13 but WordPress 5.2.2 requires at least 5.6.20”

I don’t even have PHP 5.4 installed in my server.

When I run wp cli info I get the following:

PHP binary: /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php
PHP version:    5.4.13
php.ini used:   /etc/php.ini

Any idea what could be causing this? I updated WP CLI to version 2.3 thinking maybe that would help but I get the same results.

Running CentOS 6 if that makes a difference.

Edit your .bash_profile and modify the PATH with :

export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin:$PATH

then reload with :

source ~/.bash_profile
