    #Migrating from homebrew-php to phpbrew
After installing phpbrew it's time to install a set of chosen PHP versions. My picks at the time of this writing were:
sudo phpbrew install php-5.5.0 +default+dbs+mb+apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs
sudo phpbrew install php-5.3.27 +default+dbs+mb+apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs
sudo phpbrew install php-5.5.0 +default+dbs+mb+apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs

When not sure where apxs is located on your system, whereis apxs is quite chatty.
After the installations succeeded the picked PHP versions should be visible via the phpbrew list command.
phpbrew list
Installed versions:
  php-5.3.27       (/Users/stolt/.phpbrew/php/php-5.3.27)
                   +default+dbs+mb+apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs
  php-5.4.17       (/Users/stolt/.phpbrew/php/php-5.4.17)
                   +default+dbs+mb+apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs
  php-5.5.0        (/Users/stolt/.phpbrew/php/php-5.5.0)
                   +default+dbs+mb+apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs

Extensions and PEAR packages (i.e. PHPUnit which might also be installed project specific via Composer) for PHP 5.5.0
phpbrew switch php-5.5.0
php -v

sudo phpbrew ext install redis && sudo phpbrew ext enable redis
sudo phpbrew ext install xdebug && && sudo phpbrew ext enable xdebug

php -m | grep xdebug && php -m | grep redis
    xdebug
    redis

sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

Extensions and PEAR packages for PHP 5.4.17

###Enable autocompletion for zsh
This comes in quite handy when switching the PHP versions, without having to do a phpbrew list lookup to get the actual installed ones, as the installed ones will get suggested via autocompletion.
cd /usr/local/share/zsh-completions
curl -O https://raw.github.com/c9s/phpbrew/master/completion/zsh/_phpbrew
source ~/.zshrc

###Drawback of phpbrew switch <php-version>
The activation of the apxs PHP module via the LoadModule statement has to be done manually in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf, and afterwards the Apache webserver needs to be restarted.
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.5.0.so
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.4.17.so
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.3.27.so

###Removal of the former homebrew-php installation
Remove the PHP related brew formulars and taps™.
sudo brew uninstall php54 php54-intl php54-redis php54-xdebug

brew untap homebrew/dupes
brew untap josegonzalez/homebrew-php

Remove the possible PATH expansion from ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc.
export PATH="$(brew --prefix php54)"/bin:$PATH

Remove the LoadModule statement from /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.16/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
