Updating php version on mac

Question

I want to update php version, currently I have 5.5.38 and I want 7.1

What I tried so far is using this command:

curl -s https://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1 

I tried several different versions but none of them worked. It opens bash_profile for a second and then I get Received SIGHUP or SIGTERM and message below:

Buffer written to /Users/Morpheus/.bash_profile.save.6

Not sure what went wrong and why it won't update...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Install php

brew install [email protected] 

Install the required PHP to your PATH

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile source ~/.bash_profile 

Then make sure it's all working

php -v php --version 

This command will show you where your ini file is loaded

php --ini

Use Homebrew:

I would probably recommend installing homebrew to manage such installations for you. With that installed you can just run the following command to install php7.1

brew update brew install php@71
