bash script to switch between PHP versions in Plesk

setphp.sh

# Installation: Add this file to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc
# Or: $ curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/judgej/318b59b1e57867ffd2968dfa1521421a/raw >> ~/.bashrc

# Usage: $ setphp {version}
# Example: $ setphp 7.4

# It will look for the path to the current PHP version in your PATH and switch to
# the new PHP version.
# If you do not have a path to a php version, then it will add one.
# If the version you specify does not exist, it will list the versions that are available.
# I wrote this for a Plesk server with various applications running under different versions
# of PHP, allowing me to quickly swicth between them on the command line.
