which php
So the path containing the PHP file is located at /usr/bin/php
Step 3: Change the PHP version
In this step, copy the lsphp version to replace /usr/bin/php (the system’s default PHP version) with the following command:
cp /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin/lsphp /usr/bin/php
(74 is the new PHP version I want to upgrade, if you want to change 7.2 or 7.3 please replace it with 72 and 73).
When running the command, the system will ask if you want to overwrite the current PHP version, press Y to agree.
