[SOLVED] System is not looking into /usr/local/bin first!

So I have the default php version from archlinux repo and I install php73 from aur packages.. I need the system to use php73 cli with php command.
So what I did is link the php73 into /usr/local/bin like this

ln -s /usr/bin/php73 /usr/local/bin/php

but if I type php -v I still get the 8.3 version from aur package.

[masterb0t@archlinux ~]$ php -v 
PHP 8.3.8 (cli) (built: Jun  7 2024 19:46:15) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.3.8, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
[masterb0t@archlinux ~]$ /usr/local/bin/php -v 
PHP 7.3.33 (cli) (built: Mar 27 2024 16:51:45) ( NTS )

My $PATH

[masterb0t@archlinux ~]$ echo $PATH
{/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/masterb0t/Android/Sdk//tools:/home/masterb0t/Android/Sdk//platform-tools:/home/masterb0t/Android/Sdk//emulator:ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools:}:/home/masterb0t/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin

Have you run `hash -r` in your shell after creating that symlink (or just launched a new shell)?

{/usr/local/bin

Why is that curly brace there?
