For an Update for the PHP version to 8.2.. change those lines(12 and 13) to the ones below
brew_array=("5.6","7.0","7.1","7.2","7.3","7.4","8.0","8.1","8.2")
php_array=("[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]")

I'm using GNU grep as default instead of MacOS's version of it, and since it was upgraded to 3.8, sphp started throwing warnings (8 per installed php version):

grep: warning: stray \ before /

I understand that the backslash is required as the regex is also used for sed, so I'm not quite sure how best to fix this. As a workaround I've modified sphp to call /usr/bin/grep.

@dregad, in addition to that change, I would remove the unnecessary escapes in the variable values altogether, and then do localized replacements for the sed calls by using something like ${apache_php_mod_path//\//\\\/} (the general form is ${VAR//PATTERN/REPLACE}).

Using the full path for every non-built-in command creates predictability in the script and reduces inconsistencies between user machines.

To help with consistency and to reduce maintenance, small wrapper functions can be written inside the script for each non-built-in. For example:

grep() {
  /usr/bin/grep "$@"
}

Then grep can be used without a path or backslash prefix in the rest of the script.

I would also run the script through ShellCheck and shfmt.

If anyone wants to rewrite the script and optimize it, I will gladly test it!

@rhukster thanks for considering this as a permanent change to sphp script.

Since Gists do not allow pull requests, how would you like to receive contributions ? Is a simple comment here with a patch OK, or would you prefer to get the changes from a fork of the Gist ?

I might just move this to a full repo. Overkill for one file generally but in these situations PRs and issues would be helpful.

Let me do that today.

@rhukster just wondering if you ever got around to creating a repo for this script to allow contributions via pull requests. If so, a link would be nice as I didn't find it.

Dang forgot all about it.. going to create that repo now.

Here it is: https://github.com/rhukster/sphp.sh

Thanks @rhukster. FYI you forgot to update a link in your blog article, PHP Switcher Script in the paragraph after the subtitle still points to Gist.

cheers, will update that too.
