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.

Prerequisites
- On macOS, install Xcode Command Line Utilities:

- 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 "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
- If previously installed, update homebrew and the formulae:
brew update
- If you have packages from old
homebrew/php
tap, refer to this guide for removing them.
Add this tap
Fetch the formulae in this tap:
brew tap shivammathur/php
Install PHP
See PHP Support for available formulae.
- For example, to install
PHP 8.3
:
brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.3
- After installing you have to link it:
brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php@8.3
- Restart the terminal and test your PHP version:
php -v
Upgrade your PHP version
You can upgrade your PHP version to the latest patch release.
For example, to upgrade PHP 8.3
:
brew upgrade shivammathur/php/php@8.3
Switch between PHP versions
- If you have multiple PHP versions installed, you can switch between them easily.
For example, to switch to PHP 8.3
:
brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php@8.3
- If you get a warning like below, then do as recommended:
Warning: Already linked: <Cellar Path>
To relink:
brew unlink <formula> && brew link <formula>
brew unlink php@8.3
brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php@8.3
Restart your webserver
If you are using Apache
or Nginx
with php-fpm
, restart your webserver after any change in your PHP.
- For Apache (
httpd
):
brew services restart httpd
- For Nginx:
brew services restart nginx
Debugging
-
Make sure you ran
brew update
before installing PHP. -
Run
brew doctor
and fix the warnings it reports. -
Make sure homebrew has correct permissions.
sudo chown -R "$(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 8.3
and its dependencies:
brew reinstall $(brew deps shivammathur/php/php@8.3) shivammathur/php/php@8.3
-
Check if your issue is a Homebrew's common issue.
