Update Mac Os X's php version to php 7.1 using homebrew. Includes curl and mcrypt

php_upgrade_to_71.sh

# 1. Install brew  --> http://brew.sh/
# 2. run the following commands in your Terminal
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew install --with-openssl curl
brew install --with-homebrew-curl --with-apache php71
brew install php71-mcrypt php71-imagick
# 3. Follow these instructions to make Apache and php-cli use the newer php executable and make the change persist after reboot.
brew info php71
# restart apache
sudo apachectl restart
# apply PATH changes without relogging
source ~/.profile

This was the solution for me. Thanks for your help!

@vaske Try add 127.0.0.1 vaske-mbp.local to /etc/hosts.

brew tap homebrew/dupes deprecated

If you are using AMPPS or any other solution not just pure Apache, and imagick or other php extensions are not important, just use this:

# 1. Install brew  --> http://brew.sh/
# 2. Run the following commands in your terminal
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew install --with-openssl curl
# 2.5 Don't forget to unlink your php 7.0
brew unlink php70
brew install --with-homebrew-curl php71
brew install php71-mcrypt
# 3. Follow these instructions to make php-cli use the newer php executable and make the change persist after reboot.
brew info php71
# apply PATH changes without relogging
source ~/.profile

Saved me lot of time. Thanx for this gist.

Yeah thanks, I always forget the --with-apache stuff.

In case of facing this warning:

$ brew install --with-homebrew-curl --with-apache php71
Warning: homebrew/php/php71 7.1.12_23 is already installed, it's just not linked.
You can use brew link php71 to link this version.

Then this error:

$ brew link php71
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php71/7.1.12_23...
Error: Could not symlink sbin/php-fpm
/usr/local/sbin is not writable.

The solution is this:

$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/sbin
$ sudo chown -R whoami:admin /usr/local/sbin
$ brew link php71
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php71/7.1.12_23... 17 symlinks created

thank you so much, it works great.

Thanks, it helped me a lot.

I had to make some modification to make gist work ! :)

# 1. Install brew  --> http://brew.sh/

# Thoses tap where merged into the homebrew/cores tap
brew tap homebrew/core

brew install --with-openssl curl

brew install php71-mcrypt php71-imagick

brew install homebrew/php/php71-mcrypt worked for me

At first I tried to make it work but there are errors and I thought of another way. The MAMP way.
Add this in you .bash_profile

export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.6/bin:$PATH

I will try the brew php71 way some other time

I believe I just ran into a related issue:

If you're seeing this error when opening a new terminal:

Warning: Use php@7.1 instead of deprecated php71

Check your ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.bashrc for a line that looks like this:

PATH="${PATH}:$(brew --prefix homebrew/core/php71)/bin"

And change it to this:

PATH="${PATH}:$(brew --prefix homebrew/core/php@7.1)/bin"

Good afternoon,

i'm sorry if this isn't the correct section where report errors.
i got this when brew install --with-homebrew-curl php71
the error is Warning: php@7.1: this formula has no --with-homebrew-curl option so it will be ignored!

any advice on how to solve it? i need to change from SSL Version => SecureTransport to SSL Version => OpenSSL/1.0.2j

Hello Guys,
First of all, I'm sorry, I'm not an expert in linux environment, worst in MacOs so, if I made any stupid question, please forgive me.
I'm trying to install extension for MACOS php mcrypt. My environment is MacOs High Sierra with 7.1.1 php.
I've tryed this:
$ brew install php71-mcrypt php71-imagick

But I received these errors:
Error: No available formula with the name "php71-mcrypt"
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
==> Searching local taps...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

it seems that i'm trying to install something that doesn't exist anymore.

Does anybody knows how could I resolve this?

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem as heberfomin. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Good afternoon,

In fact, Homebrew/php is deprecated, so you can not use this command to install php71.

see: weprovide/valet-plus#127

Today, I also find this problem, I still search for solutions.

You could see origin information from this: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php

thanks @huebs!

@gotraveltoworld You can still install older version of PHP via homebrew by using php@{version} eg. php@7.1. For extensions I recommend pecl.

@clozed2u problematic right now is xdebug though, but well, i do not need it.

Ran into the depreciation today and the recommendation is buried at the end of Homebrew/homebrew-core#26362, to use pecl.

My need is fortunately only for imagick and xdebug and it was relatively trivial to run pecl install package but it just jams the extensions into php.ini haphazardly which don't even point to the right location.

I was able to salvage the old files in /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d and for imagick the file is:

[imagick]
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/pecl/20160303/imagick.so"

Where the directory /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/pecl/20160303/ is not /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/lib/php/20160303/ as it expects. I was getting errors like the following, repeated for each extension installed this way:

Failed loading /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so:  dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so, 9): image not found

Fortunately it isn't a huge manual change but this totally breaks the normal expected workflow and I sincerely hope I don't have to do this manual hackery every time or I'm going to learn to stop updating php real quick.

Homebrew has changed its way of installing PHP and php-mcrypt

@ToniTonish Did you have any luck working around the removal of --with-homebrew-curl in the new core php packages?

brew install php71
brew link php71
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php70)/bin:$PATH" // it is wrong
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile . // it works for me
source ~/.bash_profile

@ToniTonish @einkoro - Got same issue. Any luck?

@ToniTonish @einkoro @ViktorPontinen
update SSL:

brew reinstall curl --with-libssh2 --with-openssl

then edit php:

brew edit php

line 20, make it always depend on curl:
depends_on "curl"

scroll down to line ~145

    args << "--with-curl=#{Formula["curl"].opt_prefix}"

make sure we are always using the homebrew curl

now build form source:

brew reinstall --build-from-source php

What worked for me was to simply executebrew install php@7.0

Don't forget to
brew unlink php70
That's the main part

This work for me to make it as the default command line
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.4.2/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
