Answer 1

You can only install supported versions of PHP with brew. However, there is the tap shivammathur/php which can be used to install unsupported version of PHP.

1. brew tap shivammathur/php
2. brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
3. brew link [email protected]

The first step only needs to be done once. After adding the tap, you can install PHP version 5.6 - 8.2.
