composer scripts use older php version

php shell composer-php version .bash-profile

Well, Composer doesn't use your alias to execute PHP.

You could use php70 -v in composer.json, but its better to symlink the newer PHP version to /bin/php, so that Composer can pick it up:

Create a ~/bin folder

mkdir ~/bin

Then symlink the newer PHP version /usr/local/bin/php70 to just~/bin/php

ln -s /usr/local/bin/php70 ~/bin/php

Finally, add this line to .bash_profile to append this folder to your environment variable PATH.

export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
