A while ago I used Homebrew<\/a> to install PHP and some associated tools (PHPUnit<\/a> including DbUnit, PHP Code Sniffer<\/a>, etc.<\/em>). Every time I need to install a new version of PHP I forget how to do it, so I’ve aggregated instructions from a number of sources into one page here.<\/p>\n

Note that the precise commands will vary with each version of PHP, so any involving a PHP version number refer to it below using an X, e.g.<\/em> php5X<\/strong> might represent php55<\/strong>, while 5.X.X<\/strong> might represent 5.5.3<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re starting this process from scratch, this Gist<\/a> (not mine) might prove more useful.<\/p>\n

Update Brew:<\/h3>\n
brew update\r\nbrew upgrade\r\nbrew doctor\r\n<\/pre>\n
Fix any problems which are highlighted by the last command.
\nMore info…<\/a><\/p>\n
Install new PHP Version:<\/h3>\n
brew tap homebrew\/dupes\r\nbrew tap josegonzalez\/homebrew-php\r\nbrew install php5X\r\nbrew doctor\r\nsudo vi \/usr\/local\/etc\/php\/5.X\/php.ini<\/pre>\n
After running the last command to start editing, search for include_path<\/em> and set to: include_path=”.:\/usr\/local\/Cellar\/php;\/5.X.X\/lib\/php\/”<\/em>
\nMore info…<\/a><\/p>\n
Use the new PHP Version:<\/h3>\n
sudo vi \/etc\/apache2\/httpd.conf<\/pre>\n
Find php5_module<\/em> and change to new path<\/p>\n
sudo \/usr\/sbin\/apachectl restart\r\nsudo vi ~\/.profile - change to new path\r\nsource ~\/.profile\r\nphp -v<\/pre>\n
Check that the last command showed that the new version of PHP is being used. Then open a web browser and use phpinfo()<\/em> to check that Apache is also using the new version of PHP.
\nMore info…<\/a><\/p>\n
XDEBUG:<\/h3>\n
brew install php5X\r\nsudo \/usr\/sbin\/apachectl restart<\/pre>\n
Open a web browser and use phpinfo() <\/em>to check that Apache is loading the xdebug module.<\/p>\n
PHP Unit:<\/h3>\n
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de\r\nsudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com\r\nsudo pear install --alldeps phpunit\/phpunit\r\nwhich phpunit<\/pre>\n
Check that the last command found a binary in a directory relating to the new version of PHP, e.g.<\/em> \/usr\/local\/opt\/php55\/bin<\/em>. Note that \/usr\/local\/opt\/php5X<\/em> is just a symlink to \/usr\/local\/Cellar\/php5X\/5.X.X<\/em>
\nMore info…<\/a><\/p>\n
DB Unit:<\/h3>\n
sudo pear install phpunit\/DbUnit\r\nwhich dbunit<\/pre>\n
Check that the last command found a binary in a directory relating to the new version of PHP, e.g.<\/em> \/usr\/local\/opt\/php55\/bin<\/em>. Note that \/usr\/local\/opt\/php5X<\/em> is just a symlink to \/usr\/local\/Cellar\/php5X\/5.X.X<\/em>
\nMore info…<\/a><\/p>\n
PHP Code Sniffer:<\/h3>\n
sudo pear install PHP_CodeSniffer\r\nwhich phpcs<\/pre>\n
Check that the last command found a binary in a directory relating to the new version of PHP, e.g.<\/em> \/usr\/local\/opt\/php55\/bin<\/em>. Note that \/usr\/local\/opt\/php5X<\/em> is just a symlink to \/usr\/local\/Cellar\/php5X\/5.X.X<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
