I want to change the version of php, so I went to the system environment variables > PATH but I didn't see any php path. but php is working fine when I run > php -v I get

PHP 8.0.12 (cli) (built: Oct 23 2019 09:24:14) ...

I noticed that there's a variable stored already for php, but I can't see it in the system environment variables, I run > php -i:

$_SERVER['Path'] => 
  C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
  C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\npm;

simply I had to delete them in powershell then add the to the system environment variables:

$removePath = 'C:\xampp\php'

then run this

$regexRemovePath = [regex]::Escape($removePath)
$arrPath = $env:Path -split ';' | Where-Object {$_ -notMatch 
"^$regexRemovePath\\?"}
$env:Path = $arrPath -join ';'
