Symfony 3.4 和 PHP 版本

Question

I'm taking over a project under Symfony 3.4.

I have an error related to the version of php I guess:

ContextErrorException
in vendor\doctrine\orm\lib\Doctrine\ORM\UnitOfWork.php (line 2636)
Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"?

So I created a.php-version file with "7.2" inside.

But when I do a

php bin\console about

I have the php version in 7.3.5.

I have tried also to change my php version in Env variable path of windows 10 and in wamp, but even after a reboot, a

php -v

show a 7.3.5 version.

An idea to force the php version that my Symfony app must use?

Thanks in advance.

If you have multiple php versions installed in multiple directories and you wish to use a certain php version on the command line you need to specify which php to use, and which php.ini to use.

For command line(CMD):

C:\php7.1\php.exe -c C:\php7.1\php.ini bin\console about

git for windows bash

/c/php7.1/php.exe -c /c/php7.1/php.ini bin/console about

For your wamp server you need to define which php version to use via the httpd.conf or the other config files you may use.

I need to run some things on 5.6 to be able to check back old sites and for that I use to get it working on my dev machine.

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php-5.6.9-Win32-VC11-x64/"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm
#SetEnv PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR "C:/php-5.6.9-Win32-VC11-x64/"
SetEnv PHPRC "C:/php-5.6.9-Win32-VC11-x64/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
