To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache: LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php55/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
The php.ini file can be found in: /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini
✩✩✩✩ PEAR ✩✩✩✩
If PEAR complains about permissions, 'fix' the default PEAR permissions and config: chmod -R ug+w /usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.27_2/lib/php pear config-set php_ini /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini system
✩✩✩✩ 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:$PATH"
PHP55 Extensions will always be compiled against this PHP. Please install them using --without-homebrew-php to enable compiling against system PHP.
✩✩✩✩ PHP CLI ✩✩✩✩
If you wish to swap the PHP you use onthe command line, you should add the following to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or your shell's equivalent configuration file:
To launch php-fpm on startup: mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents cp /usr/local/opt/php55/homebrew.mxcl.php55.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php55.plist
The control scriptis located at /usr/local/opt/php55/sbin/php55-fpm
OS X 10.8and newer come with php-fpm pre-installed, to ensure you are using the brew version you need to make sure /usr/local/sbin isbefore /usr/sbin in your PATH:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
You may also need to edit the plist to use the correct "UserName".
Please note thatthe plist was called 'homebrew-php.josegonzalez.php55.plist' in old versions of this formula.
To have launchd start homebrew/php/php55 at login: ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/php55/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents Then to load homebrew/php/php55 now: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php55.plist
