In order to invoke the cli command on a server with different php versions by the appropriate php version, one can execute it in the following method :

$ env PATH=""/usr/local/php55/bin:$PATH" php -v

waarbij /usr/local/php55/ The route is to the PHP version on your server

If you run this correctly you will see the php version in the terminal. Below is an example of what this might look like :
