I found myself how to do it. I was looking at my user folder while the .profile file was in the root folder. Then I just put this inside:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"

If you want to change the php version see the versions you have in /usr/local/opt/ and change the .profile file. Just reboot after the change.

I hope it will help somebody.
