For each PHP version, we have formulae with thread-safety support (zts) and debug symbols support (debug) and both (debug-zts) as well. The formulae with debug symbols can be used when building or debugging PHP extensions and are not recommended for production usage. The formulae with thread-safety support can be used with applications that require multi-threading support.

Usage

Prerequisites

  • On macOS, install Xcode Command Line Utilities:
xcode-select --install
  • On Linux, install cURL and Git:
# Using APT
sudo apt-get install -y curl git

# Using Yum
sudo yum install -y curl git
  • Install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
  • If previously installed, update homebrew and the formulae:
brew update
  • If you have packages from old homebrew/php tap, refer to this guide for removing them.

Add this tap

Fetch the formulae in this tap:

brew tap shivammathur/php

Install PHP

See PHP Support for available formulae.

  • For example, to install PHP 8.4:
brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.4
  • After installing you have to link it:
brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php@8.4
  • Restart the terminal and test your PHP version:
php -v

Upgrade your PHP version

You can upgrade your PHP version to the latest patch release.

For example, to upgrade PHP 8.4:

brew upgrade shivammathur/php/php@8.4

Switch between PHP versions

  • If you have multiple PHP versions installed, you can switch between them easily.

For example, to switch to PHP 8.4:

brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php@8.4
  • If you get a warning like below, then do as recommended:
Warning: Already linked: <Cellar Path>
To relink:
  brew unlink <formula> && brew link <formula>
brew unlink php@8.4
brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php@8.4

Restart your webserver

If you are using Apache or Nginx with php-fpm, restart your webserver after any change in your PHP.

  • For Apache (httpd):
brew services restart httpd
  • For Nginx:
brew services restart nginx

Debugging

  • Make sure you ran brew update before installing PHP.

  • Run brew doctor and fix the warnings it reports.

  • Make sure homebrew has correct permissions.

sudo chown -R "$(id -un)":"$(id -gn)" $(brew --prefix)
  • If PHP is not working after a macOS update. Reinstall PHP along with its dependencies.

For example to reinstall PHP 8.4 and its dependencies:

brew reinstall $(brew deps shivammathur/php/php@8.4) shivammathur/php/php@8.4

  • Check if your issue is a Homebrew's common issue.

  • If you are still facing an issue, please create a discussion thread here.
