Thank you for this script! Unfortunately it isn't changing the PATH for me, and so only Apache PHP is changed and not CLI PHP. I use zsh and Homebrew PHP. Based on the comments above this is supposed to work, but for me it just doesn't.

I came up with this Bash function to call instead of sphp. It calls sphp and then finds the PATH within .zshrc and replaces it:

function switch_php() {
	CURR_PHP_VERSION=$(php -v | tail -r | tail -n 1 | cut -d " " -f 2 | cut -c 1-3)
	NEW_PHP_VERSION=$1

	if [ "$CURR_PHP_VERSION" = "$NEW_PHP_VERSION" ]; 
	then
		echo "Already on $NEW_PHP_VERSION ya idiot."
	else
		echo "Switching from $CURR_PHP_VERSION to $NEW_PHP_VERSION."

		sphp $NEW_PHP_VERSION

		sed -i '' "s/php@$CURR_PHP_VERSION/php@$NEW_PHP_VERSION/g" "$HOME/.zshrc"
		
		source ~/.zshrc

		echo "New CLI PHP:"
		php -v

	fi
}

Call it like so: switch_php 7.2.
