I'm running Mac Catalina and want to remove the php version to downgrade to php7.2 possibly use brew from now on.

At the moment I have this.

I don't care much about the error but want I want to achieve is removing completely remove 7.3.11 and then reinstall from brew. I can't find anything about replacing php that is not coming from brew. Please help.

$ php -v

I found myself how to do it. I was looking at my user folder while the .profile file was in the root folder. Then I just put this inside:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin:$PATH"

If you want to change the php version see the versions you have in /usr/local/opt/ and change the .profile file. Just reboot after the change.

I hope it will help somebody.
