Php versions – Getting error of php version in Laravel 6 composer update even though my php version is 7.2.1

I downloaded a laravel 6 demo project and setting it up in my mac mamp. Initialy my php version was 7.1.23 and i was getting this error.

Warning: require(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/laravel_demo/public/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/laravel_demo/public/index.php on line 26

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/laravel_demo/public/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.1/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/laravel_demo/public/index.php on line 26

So i changed my php version to 7.2.1 by renaming old php version folder in mamp. Now if i run phpinfo() It is showing php version 7.2.1. But when i run composer update in terminal i am getting this error.

Problem 1
- This package requires php ^7.2 but your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
Problem 2
- laravel/framework v6.4.0 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.3.0 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.2.0 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.1.0 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.0.4 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.0.3 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.0.2 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.0.1 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework v6.0.0 requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/framework 6.x-dev requires php ^7.2 -> your PHP version (7.1.23) does not satisfy that requirement.
- Installation request for laravel/framework ^6.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[6.x-dev, v6.0.0, v6.0.1, v6.0.2, v6.0.3, v6.0.4, v6.1.0, v6.2.0, v6.3.0, v6.4.0].

Is this issue related to laravel setup or my php version or am i missing something in updating my php version?

    Laravel 6 requires PHP >= 7.2.0 and your version is 7.1.23.

    What happening in this case?

    If you run phpinfo() by a file accessed on your browser via http server. The output maybe different for your terminal. If the PHP enabled on your HTTP server (like apache or nginx) is the newest (7.2) maybe is the case to check the version in your terminal running php -v.

    In some cases the php are updated to http server but, the “cli” version are not updated and points to older version, it depends on the way that the system are updated.

    If this situation is your case, you need to check if php-cli are correctly installed.
