a few months ago, I installed php55 using homebrew. However, I don't need that anymore and want to use the php version that OS X ships itself.
So I uninstalled php55 using homebrew. When I run php -v now, the following error occurs:
/usr/local/bin/php: No such file or directory
When I run ls /usr/local/bin | grep php I see that no php executable is there anymore (as expected due to uninstalling the package).
When I run echo $PATH, it prints:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/texbin
As far as I understand the usage of the PATH variable, the terminal should search in /usr/bin for an executable called php when there is no one in /usr/local/bin, but it doesn't. And removing /usr/local/bin from the PATH isn't an option as long as I have other homebrew packages installed on the system.
When running which php the output is as expected: /usr/bin/php, the php executable shipped by OS X.
Any suggestions why the shell doesn't find the php executable?
P.S. The details about the uninstalling of the php55 package:
I uninstalled php55, php55-intl and all of their dependencies that are not needed by any other package. Then I untaped homebrew-php.
My brew doctor output:
Warning: Some directories in /usr/local/share/man aren't writable.
This can happen if you "sudo make install" software that isn't managed
by Homebrew. If a brew tries to add locale information to one of these
directories, then the install will fail during the link step.
You should probably `chown` them:
/usr/local/share/man/de
/usr/local/share/man/de/man1
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
cloog018
gmp4
isl011
libmpc08
mpfr2
zlib
brew prune dit it ... Somewhere must have been a dead symlink that pointed to /usr/local/bin/php (which doesn't exist any more).
Even though the problem is solved now, I am really curious about why homebrew didn't do this during the uninstall process. Any suggestions?

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 am aware there are many other questions related to this error, but I have tried all the answers and nothing worked.

Any ideas on how to solve this error?
I had similar issue which I fixed this way:
brew reinstall php
I will answer my own question for others who might run into a similar issue
After having uninstalled and reinstalled every single keg of brew I found the following solution:
Uninstall PHP
Run brew cleanup
Check your /usr/local/opt folder for any folders named php
Delete the folder (in my case it was called 'php#7.1')
Open a new terminal window
Run 'brew search php' in the terminal and make sure no php keg is installed.
Simply type 'php -v' in the terminal. For me this showed a version number, indicating that php was (at one point) installed without brew. You can choose to uninstall this version or update it to the newest version.
Conclusion
In my case I believe it was simply that PHP 7.1 was already installed and I installed a 2nd version (7.4) via brew.
The error 'Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/php#7.1/bin/php' was obviously searching for something in this folder and after deleted it, the error stopped.
In my case, i had multiple version of php installed on my macOs, which was later remedies with laradock.

macOS Mojave 10.14.3
PHP 7.1.23
Prestashop 1.7.5.1
I tried to install PHP intl extension on my local server in order to use Prestashop.
I added extension=php_intl.so to etc/php.ini
When I try to install Prestashop I get Intl extension is not loaded.
$ php -m | grep intl
When I do $ php -m | grep intl, I get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

intl
It seems that the file php_intl.so doesn't exist.
$ sudo pecl install intl
I also tried $ sudo pecl install intland I get:
make: *** [php_intl.lo] Error 1
ERROR:make' failed`
$ curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1
I also tried $ curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1 and it doesn't create the intl.so file.
How can I solve this problem?
Brew's PHP 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 all have INTL enabled by default.
Most probably, you're just using your Mac OS' bundles version of PHP.
Run
ls -l $(which php)
to find out where the current PHP binary is located and whether it is symlinked to a Brew installation or not. In my case, for example:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 27 May 23 16:30 /usr/local/bin/php -> ../Cellar/php/7.3.5/bin/php
Meaning that my php is linked to Brew's 7.3.5 version.
If you are NOT using Brew's PHP, you'll see something like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 11169664 Mar 21 07:09 /usr/bin/php
Installing PHP through Brew
Find out whether you've already installed PHP:
brew list | grep php
If there is any output, and your version of PHP is present, go to step 2, or use step 1 to update PHP to the latest version.
1. Install Homebrew's PHP
brew install php#7.3
(or 7.2, 7.1). If Brew complains about not being able to find a formula, you might have messed with taps. Instead of php#7.3, you could try to supply the full path to the current php formula:
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/master/Formula/php.rb
Still not working, check whether you are running a recent version of Homebrew brew --version.
Homebrew 2.1.3-31-geaf2370
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision fd1ef; last commit 2019-05-25)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 16d50; last commit 2019-05-26)
2. Link Homebrew's PHP
Now, to have php 'in your path', there are two options.
a) Either homebrew's version must be linked from its install location (/usr/local/bin/Cellar/php....) to a directory in your path (e.g., /usr/local/bin). To do this, run:
brew link --force php#7.3
If you are not able to link, this is typically caused by set permissions or System Integrity Protection. In the first case, try sudo chown "$USER":admin /usr/local/bin/php.
b) Or, add the /usr/local/opt/php#7.3 directory (opt-prefix) to your $PATH variable. E.g., for Bash:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php#7.3/bin:/usr/local/opt/php#7.3/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
3. Validate installation
ls -l $(which php)
should show that php is linked to a Homebrew PHP installation in /usr/local/bin/Cellar.
php -v
should show the recently installed version of PHP. Try to restart your terminal if that's not the case.
php -i | grep -i intl
should show some information about the current install of intl.
If you're using webservers and/or PHP FPM, this is the time to restart those services. (Or restart your system, if you don't know how to do that and cannot figure out).
Possible issues
If you still get warnings about missing extensions (Unable to load dynamic library, etc.), then your php.ini is messed up.
Find the current location of php's ini
$ php -i | grep \.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/ext-opcache.ini
....
Edit /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini and find the offending extension load (e.g., extension="myext.so"). Comment out those that cannot be found.
Homebrew permissions
Some argue that it's a good idea to chown /usr/local.
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local
This will make installing things here, by hand and through Homebrew, a lot easier, but also a bit less secure too, since non-root processes are now allowed to write here too.
Your web-application is using a different version of PHP.
Make sure that it doesn't... The configuration of this depends on the used webserver. A first step would be to output the current PHP configuration in your web-application with <?php phpinfo();.
This explains steps for Apache.
Another way to get a webserver + PHP stack running quicly is using Laravel Valet.
Installing additional extensions
To install additional PHP extensions, use PEAR.
pear -V
should output the current PEAR and PHP version.
PEAR Version: 1.10.9
PHP Version: 7.3.5
Zend Engine Version: 3.3.5
Now, to install an extension, for example, PHP's yaml extension:
pear install yaml
I have seen a lot of answers about this problem and anyone helped me, but the last (of course). This is for XAMPP´s use.
Xcode is needed.
Download the version of php you use in xampp from php.net.
Extract it and open the extracted folder in a terminal using cd.
Change to subfolder ext/intl.
Run these commands to build the extension:
/Applications/XAMPP/bin/phpize
./configure --enable-intl --with-php-config=/Applications/XAMPP/bin/php-config --with-icu-dir=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/
make
sudo make install (password required)
Delete all files you downloaded and also the extracted folders.
Add to php.ini file in xampp/etc folder line
extension="intl.so"
Original link: https://community.apachefriends.org/viewtopic.php?p=255061&sid=27afc55649dfe6ea7b0824cb0bb8486b
Since php 7 it's not necessary load the extension php_intl.so, what do you need to do?, edit your php.ini and delete or comment the line that is loading the extension php_intl.so, after this reload your apache and try again.
There might be an issue with brew
You could try to use this as mentioned there:
brew tap kyslik/homebrew-php
brew install kyslik/php/php71-intl
i tried all but intl not working in mac so please uninstall xampp and install mamp it will work
So, on Pecl Official site ( https://pecl.php.net/package/intl ), it's clear that Intl package is not maintained anymore and has been superseded. Since PHP 5.3.0 you don't need to use Pecl to install intl extension, it's bundled with PHP.
But, it's missing on native instalation of PHP 7.1.24 on Mac OS Mojave.
if you wanna use only native apache and php pre-installed instead of using homebrew, do this:
Download PHP 7.1 from php.net, install XCode Command Line Tools, ICU (http://site.icu-project.org/), Autoconf, reinstall the developer tools header files, and finally install Intl extension using phpize.
Important: you'll have to disable SIP.
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 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
