Php56 - CentOS - Remy Repo

Question

I just installed php 5.6 in a test field and the normal cli php interpreter does not exist:

$ -> php -v
-bash: php: command not found

$ -> php56 -v
PHP 5.6.13 (cli) (built: Sep  3 2015 13:41:04)    

If I try to do yum install php --enablerepo=remi, then it will try to install php 5.4.

So, it is obvious that php56 - cli the interpreter is, but I always used to simply gain phpvs php56. Is this a new norm or is there another step to install php56 on CentOS (6.7)? Is it as simple as creating a symbolic link?ln -s /usr/bin/php56 /usr/bin/php

Steps to upgrade:

$ -> yum remove php* --enablerepo=remi

$ -> yum install php56* --enablerepo=remi

thanks to Remi for pushing in the right direction, here is what my repo configuration looks like:
