brew install php --with-pear
pear install PHP_CodeSniffer
To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache: LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php55/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
The php.ini file can be found in: /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini
✩✩✩✩ PEAR ✩✩✩✩
If PEAR complains about permissions, 'fix' the default PEAR permissions and config: chmod -R ug+w /usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.18/lib/php pear config-set php_ini /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini
✩✩✩✩ Extensions ✩✩✩✩
If you are having issues with custom extension compiling, ensure that you are using the brew version, by placing /usr/local/bin before /usr/sbin in your PATH:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
PHP55 Extensions will always be compiled against this PHP. Please install them using --without-homebrew-php to enable compiling against system PHP.
✩✩✩✩ PHP CLI ✩✩✩✩
If you wish to swap the PHP you use on the command line, you should add the following to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or your shell's equivalent configuration file:
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php55)/bin:$PATH"
To have launchd start php55 at login: ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/php55/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents Then to load php55 now: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php55.plist
