Issue Magento 2 / Composer / Multiple PHP issue

[WebHostingAce]

Hi,

How can I run composer in PHP 7.1.? It seems even the PHP commands runs in PHP 7.1 composer find the system PHP 5.4. How can I over come this issue?

bash-4.2$ alias php='/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/php'
-bash-4.2$ composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - magento/product-community-edition 2.2.3 requires php 7.0.2|7.0.4|~7.0.6|~7.1.0 -> your PHP version (5.4.16) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - magento/product-community-edition 2.2.3 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
    - Installation request for magento/product-community-edition 2.2.3 -> satisfiable by magento/product-community-edition[2.2.3].

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - /etc/php.ini
    - /etc/php.d/00-ioncube-loader.ini
    - /etc/php.d/curl.ini
    - /etc/php.d/dom.ini
    - /etc/php.d/fileinfo.ini
    - /etc/php.d/gd.ini
    - /etc/php.d/imap.ini
    - /etc/php.d/json.ini
    - /etc/php.d/mbstring.ini
    - /etc/php.d/mysql.ini
    - /etc/php.d/mysqli.ini
    - /etc/php.d/pdo.ini
    - /etc/php.d/pdo_mysql.ini
    - /etc/php.d/pdo_sqlite.ini
    - /etc/php.d/phar.ini
    - /etc/php.d/sqlite3.ini
    - /etc/php.d/wddx.ini
    - /etc/php.d/xmlreader.ini
    - /etc/php.d/xmlwriter.ini
    - /etc/php.d/xsl.ini
    - /etc/php.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini
    - /etc/php.d/zip.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
-bash-4.2$

Thank you.

If I'm not mistaken this issue has been solved with this thread Question - PHP extension intl is missing from your system ?

Thank you @IgorG

I created a .profile file with,

alias php='/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/php'
alias composer='/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/php /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar'

Problem solved.
