The php executable for the CLI might be still using the old 5.6 version. Most probably the php short-code might not be enabled. pls check the above file — Shan

It looks to me like your command prompt uses an old php version. To make sure that, run "where php" in a command prompt and find out whether it prints the right path. If it's incorrect, check the PATH environment variable and put the content here. — Nimeshka Srimal

It looks to me like your command prompt uses an old php version. To confirm that, run

where php

in a command prompt and find out whether it prints the right path (to PHP7). If it's incorrect, check the PATH environment variable and modify it with the correct path to PHP7.

Hope it helps.
