PHP Composer port change for installing packages

Question

I have two servers running. One on port 80 and other on 88. Now when i write command 'php composer.phar install' and expects packages mentioned in composer.json to be installed, i got the msg Composer supports PHP > 5.3.2 and u have 5.3.1.

The server at :80 has 5.3.1 but the server at :88 has 5.4.16

How can i say composer to use port :88. Even though I am htdocs of :88 and running composer from there.

Thanks

I found the answer. It was when I ran the composer installer on windows, it selected the server with 5.3.*. I uninstalled it and re ran the setup, installed it, and selected the php.exe file of the other server. It works now. Thanks every body.

The Composer command line executable does not use any "ports" of webservers, it uses the CLI version of PHP. If your two PHP versions on your server both provide a php-cli executable, but the wrong is used when you call php -i, you should redirect the path to point to the other one.
