I have been trying to figure out how to completely remove preinstalled Apache and PHP from my macbook pro ... The reason is that I am using the homebrew version of both Apache and PHP. The current version of PHP that I am using is PHP 7 as you can see in the screenshot below
but when I use php -v in the terminal it shows me PHP version 5.6 .. see screenshot below.
I am trying to find the preinstalled PHP but can't seem to find it ... Can you guys help me out and point me to the right direction ? Thank You.

Removing system macOS binaries is not a good idea, they will be reinstalled during a next system upgrade and they could be needed by some system scripts.
To enable the homebrew php from the command
line, read the output of brew info php70:
If you wish to swap the PHP you use on the command line, you should add the following to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or your shell's equivalent configuration file: export PATH="$[brew --prefix homebrew/php/php70]/bin:$PATH"
If you have installed php 7.2, check the output of brew info php72.

I've tried this
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
and it works, php -v is showing me the correct version, see //php-osx.liip.ch/#faq
!!! Note that you need to add export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH to your ~/.bash_profile file in order to have this change permanent, otherwise it will go away on first reboot and you'll have to run this command every time you reboot.

Export your PATH with some like this [check your php version]:
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/php71/7.1.14_25/bin:$PATH

Expanding on the answer of @Lokni, to use
the php version of 'whatever homebrew installed' instead of /usr/bin/php, I added this as the first line of my ~/.bash_profile [or ~/.zprofile on some macs]:
export PATH="$[brew --prefix php]/bin:$PATH"
In my case, brew --prefix php returns
/usr/local/opt/php
So now, if I open new terminal and type which php it says
/usr/local/opt/php/bin/php
