Drupal drush will work with php version 5.3 or greater. Is some situation default installed version may be less than 5.3. Read on to know how make drush work on PHP CLI versions less than 5.3

We faced one php version issue when i have installed drush on a hosting server
Although Apache uses latest php version 5.4 but PHP command line shows a different version
php 4.8 due to this drush did not worked.

Fortunately we have ssh access to the server and we found PHP CLI make use of default version 4.8
but there are latest php version available in the server so we made alias to latest test version

echo "alias drush='/usr/local/php5/bin/php ~/drush/drush.php'" >> ~/.bash_profile
source .bash_profile
