Update PHP to 7.4 macOS Catalina with brew
PhpMacosHomebrewPhp 7.4Php Problem Overview
I try to update my PHP version to 7.4 on macOS Catalina with brew.
I did brew install [email protected]
If I check my version php -v, I still see the old version PHP 7.3.11?
What do I have to do?
Update:
After brew doctor I get:
> Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have > installed formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin. Consider > setting the PATH for example like so: echo 'export > PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile

Solution 1 - Php
You can find my similar answer for [email protected].
-
brew install [email protected] -
brew link --force --overwrite [email protected] -
brew services start [email protected] -
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH" -
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"
Solution 2 - Php
try:
brew update
brew upgrade php
php -v
brew services start php
or
brew services restart php
if you use apache server:
sudo apachectl restart
if you use ngnix
sudo nginx -s reload
Edit:
brew unlink php@7.3
brew link php@7.4
Solution 3 - Php
Using terminal of MacOS. Don't use terminal in vscode.
Solution 4 - Php
If anyone want to downgrade php from latest 8.1.2 to 7.4 on systems demand, try the below commands with homebrew: Installing PHP 7.4 :
brew install php@7.4
brew services restart php
brew unlink php@8.1
brew link php@7.4
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
Or
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"
Solution 5 - Php
I recently faced this issue, all the suggestion here didn't work until I ran:
xcode-select --install
Then ran the command I was trying before and the error stopped, for my case it was php
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openldap/lib/libldap-2.4.2.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/php Reason: image not found zsh: abort php -v
Solution 6 - Php
- I move to directory by: cd /usr/local
- Find the file location by: find /usr/local/ -name libphp7.so. (Then get the file location at: /usr/local//Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.23/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so. I copy this.)
- I open the file by: sudo vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
- Look for the line by: /libphp7.so
- Uncomment the line and update the line by: LoadModule php7_module /usr/local//Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.23/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
- Restart apache by: sudo apachectl restart
- Verify PHP by accessing http://localhost/phpinfo.php
