How to add new PHP versions to MAMP on a Mac
Raw
mamp-php-versions.md

Adding Versions of PHP to MAMP on a Mac

If you're working on a project that requires a version of PHP higher than the versions that MAMP comes with, you can easily add additional verions.

My version of MAMP came installed with PHP 7.4.21 and 8.0.8. I'm attempting to use MAMP to host a Laravel application which requires at least PHP 8.1.

The version of PHP MAMP uses is often different than the version you have installed. I have installed PHP using Brew. I'm currently running PHP 8.1.8. If you want to check your installed version of PHP, use the terminal and run the following command:

php --version

terminal-php-version

  1. First we need to copy the installed PHP files to MAMP. Using Finder, navigate to /usr/local/Cellar/php and you should find a folder named after the installed version of PHP. For me it was 8.1.8. Copy this folder.

  2. Navigate to the folder that MAMP stores PHP versions. For me this was /Applications/MAMP/bin/php. Paste this folder here.

  3. Rename this folder to php8.1.8 (use your PHP version number).

  4. Next we need the PHP modile file. Navigate to /usr/local/lib/httpd and copy the modules folder. Inside this folder is the PHP module file names libphp.so.

  5. Navigate to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.1.8 and paste the modules folder.

  6. Close and restart MAMP.

  7. Choose PHP 8.1.8 from the frop down and you should be good to go!

mamp-php-8 1 8

I have a video walk-through on YouTube!

Apache couldn't be started. Please check your MAMP installation and configuration.

I followed your tutorial step by step and could get the "PHP 8.1.x" option in the "PHP version" dropdown list of MAMP. But when starting MAMP I get a modal error saying "Apache couldn't be started. Please check your MAMP installation and configuration."
And it returns the same error when trying to start it with PHP 8.0.8!

It is because in modules folder has shortcuts NOT files. Right click on file and go to original. Copy this files to your module folder. libphp.so - this file in one folder and other files in another folder. Then restart mamp.

thanks. it worked for me

Hi. I installed everything according to the instructions, but the Apache in MAMP doesn't want to run. I started apachectl and got errors such as: httpd: Syntax error on line 160 of /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.2.9/modules/libphp.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.2.9/modules/libphp.so, 0x000A): Library not loaded: @loader_path/../../../../../../opt/tidy-html5/lib/libtidy.58.dylib\n

I opened the libphp.so file and there are ways to library via @loader_path/.. /.. /.. /.. /.. /.. /opt/lib and it will not work from path /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.2.9/

Could you give me some advice?

nevermind. I changed line in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
to LoadModule php_module /opt/homebrew/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so
and run mamp via command line

Hi Aleksandr0114, I had the same problem. My solution was:
cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php
ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/php@8.1/ php8.1.23
ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/php@8.1/lib/httpd/modules modules

I hope this helps you.

I linked the specified directories, but the required version did not appear in the MAMP interface. I also copied the conf folder inside the php8.1 folder, which for some reason was not in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php@8.1/8.1.24 . Can you tell me by what criterion the program searches for versions in a folder /Applications/MAMP/bin/php (presence of a config, a specific folder or file)?

I opted to install PHP 8.1.8 using Brew, ensuring compatibility. It's crucial to verify your installed PHP version, especially when MAMP may use a different one.

hey, i don't have a "Cellar" folder inside my local folder

mine is located in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/

BTW. The way I did it is very simple, no need to do some jargons. Basically in MAMP only 2 php version are being shown in the UI.
Now you just need to go to Applications/mamp/bin/php and remove / rename all php folder version that you will not use. example php5.4.4.5 to 5.4.4.5xxxx. Just make sure not to touch 2 folder that you need. Then restart the mamp then VOALA!

Hello, PHP friends!

As I'm using High Sierra, I used MacPorts to install PHP 8.3 and avoid some problems that occurs when using Brew in old macOS versions.

PHP 8.3 is correctly installed, but it appears that everything is spreaded at /opt/local folder:

Hi! I have already the versions of PHP that I need. Problem is I had to reinstall MAMP and now only 7.4.33 and 8.2.0 are available in the versions menu of the app. This is the listing of /Applications/MAMP/bin/php:
browscap.ini php5.4.45 php7.3.33 php8.1.13 composer php5.6.40 php7.4.33 php8.2.0
I don't remember how did I fix it, but I need the 8.1.13 to work again. Please help!

Hello, PHP friends!

As I'm using High Sierra, I used MacPorts to install PHP 8.3 and avoid some problems that occurs when using Brew in old macOS versions.

PHP 8.3 is correctly installed, but it appears that everything is spreaded at /opt/local folder:

$ port contents php83 @8.3.6_0+libedit 
Port php83 contains:
  /opt/local/bin/php-config83
  /opt/local/bin/php83

Could anyone help me to find out what folder I should copy to MAMP? Any advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance!

As far I know, you install MAMP in Applications folder and copy php files to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php, not the opposite. However, it will probably NOT be available in the MAMP's php version menu to be selected. If it does, please tell me!

If anyone else is having an issue with Php 8.3:
You'll need a config folder for your 8.3 version. Go to /Applications/MAMP/conf
Duplicate one of the previous php folders (like 8.1.13) rename to the name of your 8.3 version

Then go into the folder, edit the pear.conf replace all references of 8.1.13 with your 8.3 version
