# 1. Install brew  --> http://brew.sh/
# 2. run the following commands in your Terminal
brew tap homebrew/dupes

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem as heberfomin. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Good afternoon,

In fact, Homebrew/php is deprecated, so you can not use this command to install php71.

see: weprovide/valet-plus#127

Today, I also find this problem, I still search for solutions.

You could see origin information from this: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php

thanks @huebs!

@gotraveltoworld You can still install older version of PHP via homebrew by using php@{version} eg. php@7.1. For extensions I recommend pecl.

@clozed2u problematic right now is xdebug though, but well, i do not need it.

Ran into the depreciation today and the recommendation is buried at the end of Homebrew/homebrew-core#26362, to use pecl.

My need is fortunately only for imagick and xdebug and it was relatively trivial to run pecl install package but it just jams the extensions into php.ini haphazardly which don't even point to the right location.

I was able to salvage the old files in /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d and for imagick the file is:

[imagick]
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/pecl/20160303/imagick.so"

Where the directory /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/pecl/20160303/ is not /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/lib/php/20160303/ as it expects. I was getting errors like the following, repeated for each extension installed this way:

Failed loading /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so:  dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.16_1/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so, 9): image not found

Fortunately it isn't a huge manual change but this totally breaks the normal expected workflow and I sincerely hope I don't have to do this manual hackery every time or I'm going to learn to stop updating php real quick.

Homebrew has changed its way of installing PHP and php-mcrypt

@ToniTonish Did you have any luck working around the removal of --with-homebrew-curl in the new core php packages?

brew install php71
brew link php71
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php70)/bin:$PATH" // it is wrong
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile . // it works for me
source ~/.bash_profile

@ToniTonish @einkoro - Got same issue. Any luck?

update SSL:

brew reinstall curl --with-libssh2 --with-openssl

then edit php:

brew edit php

line 20, make it always depend on curl:
depends_on "curl"

scroll down to line ~145

    args << "--with-curl=#{Formula["curl"].opt_prefix}"

make sure we are always using the homebrew curl

now build form source:

brew reinstall --build-from-source php

What worked for me was to simply executebrew install php@7.0

Don't forget to
brew unlink php70
That's the main part

This work for me to make it as the default command line
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.4.2/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
