To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php54/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
The php.ini file can be found in:
/usr/local/etc/php/5.4/php.ini
✩✩✩✩ PEAR ✩✩✩✩
If PEAR complains about permissions, 'fix' the default PEAR permissions and config:
chmod -R ug+w /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.26/lib/php
pear config-set php_ini /usr/local/etc/php/5.4/php.ini
✩✩✩✩ Extensions ✩✩✩✩
If you are having issues with custom extension compiling, ensure that
you are using the brew version, by placing /usr/local/bin before /usr/sbin in your PATH:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
PHP54 Extensions will always be compiled against this PHP. Please install them
using --without-homebrew-php to enable compiling against system PHP.
✩✩✩✩ PHP CLI ✩✩✩✩
If you wish to swap the PHP you use on the command line, you should add the following to ~/.bashrc,
~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or your shell's equivalent configuration file:
export PATH="$(brew --prefix josegonzalez/php/php54)/bin:$PATH"
