Why is my PHP CLI Curl version different from curl and libcurl even if I try to force it with --with-curl flag during compilation?

I have compiled PHP after compiling Curl 7.73 .

Curl -v shows me it's 7.73, and if I go to my web server and check phpinfo() output it's also 7.73 .

However, the compiled php cli is showing me that it's running Curl 7.68 !

To confirm this, I checked the output of php --ini and also ran a script from cli to get the output of curl_version() .

In order to try to force php cli curl version to be 7.73 I recompiled it with the flag --with-curl=path/to/curl

However, no matter how many times or versions of php i recompile, it always defaults to Curl 7.68, ignoring Curl from my system or my flag .

How can I fix this and force PHP CLI to use the same curl as the rest of the system ?
