Install phpenv on mac

install phpenv from it's instruction, including optional steps
install the related libraries, refer to this issue
normally, on macos, you cannot use plain install command, otherwise, you face the problem configure: error: Please reinstall the [PACKAGE] distribution
so, install target php version available from php-build list

brew install autoconf bison bzip2 curl icu4c libedit libjpeg libiconv libpng libxml2 libzip openssl re2c tidy-html5 zlib

then, use the CONFIGURE_OPTS together with installing command like this below

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-zlib-dir=$(brew --prefix zlib) \
    --with-bz2=$(brew --prefix bzip2) \
    --with-iconv=$(brew --prefix libiconv) \
    --with-readline=$(brew --prefix readline) \
    --with-libedit=$(brew --prefix libedit) \
    --with-tidy=$(brew --prefix tidy-html5) \
    --with-curl=$(brew --prefix curl)" phpenv install [VERSION]

for example, if you would like to install php 8.3.2, then go with this command

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-zlib-dir=$(brew --prefix zlib) \
    --with-bz2=$(brew --prefix bzip2) \
    --with-iconv=$(brew --prefix libiconv) \
    --with-readline=$(brew --prefix readline) \
    --with-libedit=$(brew --prefix libedit) \
    --with-tidy=$(brew --prefix tidy-html5) \
    --with-curl=$(brew --prefix curl)" phpenv install 8.3.2

note that if you install php version 7.x, you have to put the option --disable-phar into the CONFIGURE_OPTS also to avoid PEAR package PHP_Archive not installed Warning abortion problem,

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-zlib-dir=$(brew --prefix zlib) \
    --with-bz2=$(brew --prefix bzip2) \
    --with-iconv=$(brew --prefix libiconv) \
    --with-readline=$(brew --prefix readline) \
    --with-libedit=$(brew --prefix libedit) \
    --with-tidy=$(brew --prefix tidy-html5) \
    --with-curl=$(brew --prefix curl) \
    --disable-phar" phpenv install 7.4.28

For me, installing some version (namely 7.4.13) seems mulfunction because I faced the problem of low level C compilation php-build error

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
In file included from /var/tmp/php-build/source/7.4.13/ext/intl/breakiterator/breakiterator_methods.cpp:22:
/var/tmp/php-build/source/7.4.13/ext/intl/breakiterator/codepointiterator_internal.h:42:17: error: virtual function 'operator==' has a different return type ('UBool' (aka 'signed char')) than the function it overrides (which has return type 'bool')
                virtual UBool operator==(const BreakIterator& that) const;
                        ~~~~~ ^

    virtual bool operator==(const BreakIterator&) const = 0;
            ~~~~ ^
1 error generated.
make: *** [ext/intl/breakiterator/breakiterator_methods.lo] Error 1

So, I choose to skip to use this version and install another version instead.

EDIT

It seems that --disable-phar option blocking the composer installation. So, do not include this option when installing php version.

EDIT 2

phpenv uses php-build which build php 7.x from source which is very complex and these versions are deprecated. So, I decide to control the multiple versions of php with brew due to this instruction
