How to Use Brew-Installed PHP with Apache for Compatibility

Leveraging Brew-Installed PHP with Apache

Utilizing Homebrew to install extensions like mcrypt for PHP can sometimes lead to discrepancies between the PHP versions used by Brew and Apache. To address this, it's essential to determine any differences and configure Apache to incorporate Brew-installed PHP.

Step 1: Differentiating PHP Versions

• Run the command "brew search php" to view a list of PHP versions available via Homebrew.
• Check if the version you need is installed; a checkmark indicates installation.

Step 2: Employing Brew-Installed PHP with Apache

• Install the desired PHP version using "brew install [email protected]".
• Modify the ~/.zshrc file by adding "export PATH='/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH'" to your path.
• Reload ~/.zshrc with "source ~/.zshrc".
• Navigate to the httpd.conf file and add the following lines to enable PHP in Apache:

LoadModule php_module /usr/local/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so  

<FilesMatch \.php$>  
       SetHandler application/x-httpd-php  
   </FilesMatch>

• Ensure the DirectoryIndex includes "index.php".
