Hi Carlos_Gallardo,

pls. note, that each PHP - version has it's very own path, when it comes to CLI - commands.

Examples:

For Plesk PHP - version commands:

/opt/plesk/php/5.2/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/5.3/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/5.4/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -v

For Plesk PHP "PECL" commands:

/opt/plesk/php/5.2/bin/pecl
/opt/plesk/php/5.3/bin/pecl
/opt/plesk/php/5.4/bin/pecl
/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl
/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/pecl
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl

The vendor specific PHP CLI commands depend on your operating system and the installed PHP version on your server:

Commands for the PHP - vendor version:

/usr/bin/php -v

/usr/bin/pecl
