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

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/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile . // it works for me
source ~/.bash_profile

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

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 [email protected]

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
