I am creating a new server for a laravel application. I installed composer and selected php5.6.15 from my cpanel. But when I run the php -v command in the terminal, it shows my current version as php5.2.19.
Here is my php.ini file on my server, it shows version 5.6
I uploaded my code to the server using git. When I run the linker command, it gives me this error.
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. Problem 1 - laravel/framework v5.1.28 requires php >=5.5.9 -> your PHP version (5.4.43) or value of "config.platform.php" in composer.json does not satisfy that requirement. - laravel/framework v5.1.28 requires php >=5.5.9 -> your PHP version (5.4.43) or value of "config.platform.php" in composer.json does not satisfy that requirement. - Installation request for laravel/framework v5.1.28 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v5.1.28].
I am using laravel 5.1. If I refuse it before 5.0, it will give dependency errors with other packages. Here is my composer.json file.

I have php56 available under / usr / php / php 56, and I can run it by making an alias or just typing the full path. I also made an alias, and after that php -v shows me 5.6.15 , but when I run composer install it still gives the same output above.
Maybe I won’t be able to install the standard php cli version on 5.6 or is it something with laravel framework support on bluehost servers. I think bluehost support is less of a concern because I have a composer who can do some of the work. Your help in solving this problem is greatly appreciated.
