Since updating my mac to Montery my php-server 0.8.0 in atom no longer works and I'm given this error
Listening on http://localhost:8000
Document root is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
PHP Server could not launch
Have you defined the right path to PHP in your settings? Using PHP
Can anybody help me set this back up? Here are my settings.

macOS 12 (”Monterey”) is the first version that no longer ships with PHP included. That said, you will need to install PHP yourself. The PHP documentation lists several ways to install it, the most common way is to use Homebrew:
Enter the following in a terminal window to install Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Now you can install the latest PHP version
brew install php
The last couple of PHP 7.x versions are still maintained by the Homebrew team, for even older releases there's a ”tap” (third party repository.)

I have tried virtually everything I could for the last 3 hours. I just don't seem to get it to load on PHP. I was able to install it via brew install memcached and successfully make run it as a background service via memcached -d. But that's not really what I am looking for.
I am looking at loading it as one of my PHP modules. Running php -m on the terminal does not list memcached on it at all. Neither looking at phpinfo() or print_r(get_loaded_extensions()); on runtime gave me any luck. I am trying to officially access it in my project via something like extension_loaded('memcached'), of course, this returns a falsy value atm.
I have tried solutions like below:
How to install memcached module for php#7.1 on MacOS High Sierra?
https://donatstudios.com/OS-X-Mavericks-Memcached-PHP-Extension-Installation
Can I install the memcached PHP extension with PECL?
Most of the solutions are similar to the above linked. Unfortunately, this isn't working for me because of an issue similar to this:
Unable to use PHPIZE after update to MacOS Mojave
I also get below error when executing a make command:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
And the below error when running ./configure
checking for session includes... configure: error: Cannot find
php_session.h
Meanwhile, I also cannot attempt an install via pecl install memcached due to the error below:
configuration download directory "/tmp/pear/install" is not writeable.
Change download_dir config variable to a writeable dir to avoid this
warning
Basically everything just doesn't work. And honestly, I didn't even know how to start writing this question, so I'm just kinda throwing everything in here.
It doesn't help that there are no recent discussions about installing memcached on PHP since Catalina. A lot of resources are just 5 years old and that's not a good sign, a number of them aren't even valid solutions anymore.
I am losing my mind. Why this thing is so complicated to configure is beyond my comprehension. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
So I was able to find a solution after 2 working days. What you should do is move away from using built-in Apache/PHP from macOS and use the ones from Homebrew.
Here are the descriptive step-by-step procedure I did:
1) Unload the built-in Apache.
2) Install a new Apache from Homebrew via brew install httpd and then run the service
3) Install PHP via brew install php
4) Configure httpd.conf from /usr/local/etc/httpd/, including loading Homebrew PHP module, mod_rewrite, setting up DirectoryIndex, ServerName, default Listen port, etc.
4.1) If you are using virtual hosts, set this up on /usr/local/etc/httpd/extra/
5) Configure ~/.bash_profile to use the new PHP version (test via php -v or which php)
6) Install PEAR
7) Install memcached via PEAR

it seems like a little bit stupid question, but Google for one hour and cannot find it:
How to install php on macOS via brew and use in in shell.
Install is simple (if you have brew already installed):
brew install php
But after installation, when i use php -v i still see default php on mac os and not the brew's one. Shoud I Add brew php binary into PATH, bash profile, or what?
Thank you!
homebrew creates symbolic links in /usr/local/bin to pretty much every binary it installs. So the answer to your question is to add that to your path in your login profile. That will probably be $HOME/.profile and you can add a line like:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Then it will be set each time you login or open a new Terminal.
So in my case, the trouble was with some access permissions on specific folders on my Mac OS, so just sharing what I learned: if it's not working, carefully examile log / error feed, there can be a hint for you!
On April 1, 2018 Homebrew discontinued the Homebrew/php tap and went with a core install approach, which means many of the extensions now must be installed with PECL. I have written a two part blog series to help with installing Apache and PHP w/ PECL on later versions of MacOS. You can find it at the link below, I hope it helps!
https://medium.com/#crmcmullen/how-to-install-php-on-macos-10-13-high-sierra-and-10-14-mojave-using-homebrew-and-pecl-ef2276db3d62
Step 1: Install Homebrew
The first step is to install Homebrew and this is a tool (package manager for macOS) that will allow us to install easily PHP and basically any other package/tools.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Step 2: Install PHP
To install PHP we can use the command below. The first command will automatically install the latest version of PHP which is at the current moment of writing this post version 8.
brew install php
If other versions may be preferred we can specify the PHP version and the code will look like the following.
brew install php#7.4
Step 3: The php.ini Config
The default PHP configuration should be sufficient to get started but if there are any other configurations, we can change them through the php.ini located on this path. Do note the PHP version number which in this case is version 8.
/usr/local/etc/php/8.1/php.ini
Step 4: Check if PHP is running
To check if PHP is already running we can make use of the brew services command. First, we can list the services that we have installed.
brew services list
If PHP is not started we can then run the command below to start the service in the background.
brew services start php#8.1
Step 5: Checking PHP Version
Lastly to check the PHP version do run:
php -v
By now you will have PHP running on the background process and every time you logged in to the system it will start by default. Thanks for reading and have a good try.
I need to use PHP pthreads on Mac OS High Sierra, but Homebrew is no longer supporting downloads of PHP --with-thread-safety.
How do I get and install a thread safe version of PHP for Mac OS, Php v7.1.16 without homebrew?
If it is going to have to be some sort of manual install - does anyone have step by step directions for the mac or know where I can get instructions?
I have been looking on the internet for instructions for 5 hours now. I'm tired and can't believe that no one has any posted info on this.
I was able to get PHP 7.2.5 installed on Mac OS HighSierra with ZTS/Thread safety by using phpbrew.
Install Steps I took:
Downloaded phpbrew from http://phpbrew.github.io/phpbrew/ and installed with their directions. Please note at the end of the installation, they give you further instructions for setting up your ~/.bashrc to load phpbrew, look for them at the terminal.
Once you have phpbrew running you are ready to install php with zts by using the command below (of course you can install all of the extensions that you like by checking the installation for extension instruction)
phpbrew install php-7.2.5 +openssl='/usr/local/opt/openssl/' -- --enable-maintainer-zts --with-curl=/usr/local/
It is important to have openssl and curl already installed before installing php and you must point to their location on your computer at the install line as I have done above. You can add all the extensions you need, but you must have the openssl and curl because I had a ton of problems with installation without them. But you could try omitting.
For those of you who are using PHP ZTS so that you can go on to install pthreads --ONLY PHP 7.2 and above works with Krakjoes pthread-master which you can download and follow the installation at https://github.com/krakjoe/pthreads
Since Mac OS 10.8 had an old PHP version I had to install a never version of PHP. So I just compile PHP 5.4.13. Then I do a php -v on the terminal and it shows me that the new php version is running. But When I do a phpinfo from the browser it shows me the old PHP version which is PHP 5.3.x. This is even after creating a soft link to the new php build,
/opt/local/lib/php(old one) -> /usr/bin/php(new one)
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
I just ran into the same issue, wanting to try Laravel which requires mcrypt.
In a nutshell, I had been using the built-in PHP 5.3.26 that came with Mountain Lion, then some months later after I'd gotten more familiar with homebrew, I used it to install a newer version of PHP.
brew update
brew upgrade
brew install php53 php53-mcrypt ...
I put
<?php phpinfo();
into ~/Sites/info.php then went to localhost/info.php to see my Apache+PHP config. On the page, I saw this, under Loaded Configuration File:
/private/etc/php.ini
Then in Termninal, I ran this:
php -i | grep ini
which showed this output
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/php.ini
Plus even more configs loaded as well ...
Additional .ini files parsed => /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/conf.d/ext-mcrypt.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/5.3/conf.d/ext-xdebug.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/5.3/conf.d/redis.ini
The problem I had was that mcrypt was loading in the php cli version, but my Laravel test page wouldn't load giving an mcrypt extension not found error [1]
I used a diffmerge tool [2] to compare the original Apple php.ini in /private/etc/ to the one homebrew installed in /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/ and found there to be significant differences! So check carefully before trying this:
What I did next was to backup
sudo mv /private/etc/php.ini /private/etc/php.ini.apple
Then symlink the php.ini to homebrew's instead
ln -s /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/php.ini /private/etc/php.ini
Finally after reloading Apache
sudo apachectl restart
And mcrypt loaded, and now they're using a single config.
If you have another app on your localhost that breaks with the new config, just remove the symlink, and change it to the .apple version and restart Apache to revert back.
Laravel requires the Mcrypt PHP extension

This might be a good reference:
how do i install php 5.4 on Mac OS X Lion?
There are some detailed instructions on upgrading PHP to 5.4, and also notes on how MacPorts can make it pretty painless.
I'm running OS X 10.9. I updated PHP to v5.5.8 and found that Apache was correctly running the new version but the terminal was still running the old one. After hunting around for a solution for a while, I eventually thought, "I'll give it a restart."
Bingo! Terminal and Apache are running the same version of PHP.
I feel this is an awfully obtuse question to ask, but strangely, this problem is poorly documented.
I would like to upgrade PHP, but there are several problems:
There is no built-in package manager. MacPorts doesn't recognize php as an installed package because it didn't install PHP itself.
Running locate php indicates there are probably many dependencies.
I don't know HOW php was installed, as it was included with the OS, so I don't know whether I should install from source or download binaries. I also don't know the proper way to uninstall the previous version without breaking dependencies.
I am running on Leopard. I have a feeling Apple doesn't want you to upgrade. Would buying Snow Leopard and upgrade solve this problem (and future ones like it)?
You may want to check out Marc Liyanage's PHP package. It comes in a nice Mac OS X installer package that you can double-click. He keeps it pretty up to date.
http://php-osx.liip.ch/
Also, although upgrading to Snow Leopard won't help you do PHP updates in the future, it will probably give you a newer version of PHP. I'm running OS X 10.6.2 and it has PHP 5.3.0.
I use this: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php
The command is:
$ xcode-select --install
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
$ brew tap homebrew/versions
$ brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
$ brew options php56
$ brew install php56
Then config in your .bash_profile or .bashrc
# Homebrew PHP CLI
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php56)/bin:$PATH"
I think one simple way to do it, is:
1 - Check you where is your current PHP:
$ which php
$ /usr/local/bin/php
You see? Usually, our commands that we run is a link in /usr/local/bin so...
2 - Unlink this current link of PHP
unlink /usr/local/bin/php
If you prefere, before unlink it, check the path and then remove php files (do ls -al /usr/local/bin | grep php and then rm -rf into desired path)
3 - Install PHP 7.1
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1
4 - Create new link (using php 7.1 bin that you have installed)
ln /usr/local/php5-7.1.9-20170914-100859/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php
Like I said, its a simple way I think.
There is no built-in package manager. MacPorts doesn't recognize php as an installed package because it didn't install PHP itself.
You could still install it with MacPorts. sudo port install php52 (or whichever version you want) will install PHP.
It won't overwrite the Apple-supplied version. It'll install it under /opt/local. You can add /opt/local to the beginning of your $PATH, and use the MacPorts version in your Apache config.
Option #1
As recommended here, this site provides a convenient, up-to-date one liner.
This doesn't overwrite the base version of PHP on your system, but instead installs it cleanly in /usr/local/php5.
Option #2
My preferred method is to just install via Homebrew.
Before I go on, I have the latest version (v5.0.15) of OS X Server (yes, horrible, I know...however, the web server seems to work A-OK). I searched high and low for days trying to update (or at least get Apache to point to) a new version of PHP. My mcrypt did not work, along with other extensions and I installed and reinstalled PHP countless times from http://php-osx.liip.ch/ and other tutorials until I finally noticed a tid-bit of information written in a comment in one of the many different .conf files OS X Server keeps which was that OS X Server loads it's own custom .conf file before it loads the Apache httpd.conf (located at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf). The server file is located:
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
When you open this file, you have to comment out this line like so:
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Then add in the correct path (which should already be installed if you have installed via the http://php-osx.liip.ch/ link):
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so
After this modification, my PHP finally loaded the correct PHP installation. That being said, if things go wonky, it may be because OS X is made to work off the native installation of PHP at the time of OS X installation. To revert, just undo the change above.
Anyway, hopefully this is helpful for anyone else spending countless hours on this.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard won't solve the your primary problem of keeping PHP up to date. Apple doesn't always keep the third party software that it bundles up to date with OS updates. And relying on Apple to get you the bug fix / security update you need is asking for trouble.
Additionally, I would recommend installing through MacPorts (and doing the config necessary to use it instead of Apple's PHP) rather than try to upgrade the Apple supplied PHP in place. Anything you do to /usr/bin risks being overwritten by some future Apple update.
Saving on keystrokes, this worked on MacOS Sierra:
$ brew install homebrew/php/php71
$ /usr/local/opt/php71/bin/php -v
PHP 7.1.4 (cli) (built: Apr 14 2017 15:02:16) ( NTS )

Check your current php version in terminal with the following command,
$ php -v
You see current php version in terminal, and next command run in terminal if you want to upgrade your php version with php concat with version liked as,
$ brew install homebrew/php/php71
Please restart terminal if you finished php version upgrade installed and run the command.
$ php -v
Now you see the current php version in terminal....thank
Use this Command:
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.0
You can use curl to update php version.
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.3
Last Step:
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
Check the upgraded version
php -v
best way to upgrade is
compile it from source
