I had been PHP version using 5.5.11 on my Mac and have some modules installed. They took quite a lot of tinkering around to get working. I have my OSX already using this version by using a PATH in my ./~profile. After I installed Yosemite though my localhost now runs PHP 5.5.14, which doesn't have the modules installed. How do I get my localhost to use my other PHP installation?
I have tried in httpd.conf LoadModule php5_module \path\to\other\binary. I restarted Apache but it wouldn't load my page then. So i'm unsure of how to achieve this.
Not so easy, in my mind the easy way should be to install a new version with the modules you need
If you are lucky all modules you need are present in the package from
http://php-osx.liip.ch/
The hard way : install manually the php and all modules ...

I followed a guide which used home-brew to install the lastest version of php (5.4.8) on OSX Mountain Lion.
I then followed a guide which showed me how to setup and use the pre-installed apache on OSX.
However when I try running up a base Symfony 2 project I get a bunch of errors relating to missing date.timezone in the php.ini.
However I have this correctly setup the php.ini but doing a quick phpinfo() in the Symfony project shows that its using the old preinstalled version of php (5.3) rather than the new one.
In terminal if I type which php & php -v, It shows the correct new version is being used.
But the phpinfo() shows
Did you follow all the instructions provided in the Caveats?
Run brew info php54 to see them again.
Especially the line:
To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.8/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Apache is not aware of the homebrew version of PHP (i.e. /usr/bin/php). You see it on the command line because you've likely modified your PATH (i.e. /usr/local/bin/php).
You can modify this in your httpd.conf file.
I am not a fan of homebrew or other package libraries. Primarily because Mac OS X is built atop Unix. Furthermore, all but MySQL are installed natively. Here's an article on installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Mac OS X.
Disclaimer: I wrote that article.
Today I have same issue for updating php 7.2 to 7.3 as requirement of Laravel 6. Here is my solution.
Open your httpd.conf file in "/etc/apache2/http.conf"
Search (Ctrl + w) for "LoadModule php"
Uncomment that row
Restart your apache with "sudo apachectl restart"
Then, your php version in local web server (apache2) will be updated
I want to downgrade php version from 7.1.1 to 5.6 in xampp 7.1.1. But I can't find any option.
I think the most safest downgrade path from PHP7 to PHP5 in Xampp is:
Download a self-packaged version of Xampp with PHP5 from here (as of today this is xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip).
Rename the php folder to php7 in Xampp.
Now copy the php folder from xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip into your Xampp install folder.
Make a backup from .\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file.
Replace this file from xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip as well.
This way the config files (including php.ini) has settings from the Xampp team.
Before any changes, to verify changed Apache configs, you can compare both Xampp release folder at .\xampp\apache\conf with tools like Meld.
I should note that please download PHP 5 and 7 Xampp packages released at the same time.
Notify me if I miss something.
If you want to downgrade php from 7.1.1 to 5.6 in xampp follow the steps(For Windows):-
Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.36/
Download and extract the file xampp-win32-5.6.36-0-VC11.zip see the image
[image 1][1]
Delete php folder and apache folder present in C:\xampp
Copy php folder and apache folder from extracted file and paste it to C:\xampp
Add " C: " before \xampp\ to php ini file present in php folder.
Start your apache and MySQL and check php version. It will show php 5.6.36
Just delete this xampp, and download 5.6 version.
There is no option to downgrade XAMPP. XAMPP is hardcoded with specific PHP version to make sure all the modules are compatible and working properly. However if your project needs PHP 5.6, you can just install a older version of XAMPP with PHP 5.6 packaged into it.
Source: How to downgrade php from 5.5 to 5.3
Change the .htaccess code to switch to PHP 5.6:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php
XAMPP is an integrated package and you can not downgrade or change one of its component such as php. (There are some solutions that you can use but there is little chances that everything work fine.)
You can download the package from these links:
https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/
You had better to download the old package form sourceforge.net.
You do not have to install another version of Xampp. I've managed to use PHP 5.6 on my Xampp PHP 7 version. Here is what you need to do to make it works:
Raname (backup) <XAMPP_DIR>\php to <XAMPP_DIR>\php~7
Copy (backup) <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf to <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp~7.conf
Download PHP5 and unpack it to <XAMPP_DIR>\php
Edit <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf and change all php5 occurrences to php7. You need to change php7apache2_4.dll to php5apache2_4.dll, php7ts.dll to php5ts.dll and php7_module to php5_module
Ensure all your paths are correct like extension_dir in php.ini.
Restart Apache and voila.
If you want to downgrade php version, just simply edit yout .htaccess file.
Like you want to downgrade any php version to 5.6, just add this into .htaccess file
<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php7|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
etHandler application/x-lsphp56
</FilesMatch>
I know it might be late but I'm just adding to Lanti's answer since it's the most popular, I had the same problem as Wouter Vanherck in the comments and I can't comment yet.
What helped for me was instead of just replacing \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf I replaced the whole apache folder. I basically did the same thing with it as with the php folder (steps 2 and 3).
Now the error is fixed and Apache starts just fine.
Using WAMP is perforce option if we want to use more then one version of php.
It is very easy to do, all you need to do is
1) download 5.6 from [1]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.36/, the run the setup and install in folder "xampp"
2) download 7.6 from [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/7.4.2/xampp-portable-windows-x64-7.4.2-0-VC15-installer.exe/download][1] and run the setup in "xampp2"
NOte: after that you now have separate xampp installed in your system. all you do now is to run each xampp as a separate entity. Alway quite the 5.6 if you want to run 7.6
This solution is Only for local system / localhost on windows:
The simplest way to install xampp 5.6.X version as per your requirement in other windows drive then run xampp 5.6.X services from it's control panel for php 5.6 version.
NOTE: If you already have xampp (any other version) on your system then please close that xampp's services then start xampp 5.6.x services otherwise this solution will not work.
You can download your required (xampp 5.6 as per question) xampp version from below link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/
I have used this solution many times, it worked like charm. I hope this will also help you. Thank you to ask this question.
i was trying the same, so i downloaded the .7zip version of XAMPP with php 5.6.33 from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.33/
then followed the steps below:
1. rename c:\xampp\php to c:\xampp\php7
2. raname C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf to httpd-xampp7.OLD
3. copy php folder from XAMPP_5.6 7zip archive to c:\xampp\
4. copy file httpd-xampp.conf from XAMPP_5.6 7zip archive to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\
open xampp control panel and start Apache and then visit ( i am using port 82 instead of default 80)
http://localhost
and then click PHPInfo to see if it is working as expected.
Opening localhost shows dashboard
Opening phpinfo shows version 5.6
I am having some trouble using BREW on my local host server. I installed brew via Terminal on my Mac and installed FREETDS using brew. I have also changed my default PHP to the MAMP PHP.
Running which php gives:
which php
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/php
But it seems the packages I install via brew don't take effect on the MAMP PHP SERVER. I cant see the FREETDS driver anywhere in PHPINFO. Any help guys?
Maybe you can try from terminal to run
php --ini
Output will show you loaded ini file for PHP client. Than you can try to edit that ini file and include additional PHP extension if they are installed.
If possible i would suggest to don't use MAMP, but some Vagrant environment.
If you type:
brew info php
You'll see that Homebrew is installing to a separate directory than MAMP (including extensions). You'll need to reconcile the two somehow to get it working correctly, but it may be worth it to configure your machine to serve from Homebrew's version instead of relying on MAMP Pro - otherwise you'll be moving files around.
The problem here lies with me using MAMP. MAMP is not compatible with brew nor does it let me install extensions. The way I got around this was completely ditch MAMP and just go with PHPBREW which is a much more flexible solution and VERY EASY to setup. If you are going to need anything remotely custom (extensions etc.) go for PHPBREW.... it will save you so much time.
I'm trying to install orocrm on centos server and it is asking for PHP 5.4 and ICU library 4.4. Although I updated PHP and restarted Apache my php version still shows PHP 5.3 if outputting phpinfo in a php page. But,if I use php -v command then it shows php 5.5
ini path is shown /usr/local/lib/php.ini if using php page but through command it shows /etc/php.ini
please help...
The PHP 5.4 you compiled is not getting picked up by Apache. Rather than figuring out how to point Apache to this installation, the easiest (and safer since you'll get security updates) is to use the IUS Community repository
I have a couple of thoughts. If you're on CentOS you're probably using YUM as your package manager. With it, you could remove the PHP's and add a new one (if you don't have active clients using it). You can search what PHP version yum has by doing one of these:
yum list
yum list installed
If it registers multiple versions, you can "yum remove $package".
If you're php -v showing version 5.5, then your path is set to include that. You can see that by typing $PATH from the command line when SSH'd in. In your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.profile) you can edit your $PATH by adding something like:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
EDIT: You should back up your PATH before writing a new one and after you edit it type "source ~/.bashrc" or "source ~/.profile" to make the command line see it.
You can also directly edit the php in the .bashrc to point to the correct version by setting up an alias (if you don't fix the root of the problem) like
alias php="/path/to/php"
You can see where your current php is by typing:
which php
Your PHP extension comes from the apache httpd.conf file. You can find it somewhere like /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Search for "LoadModule" or "LoadModule php" and see which extension of PHP your apache is pointing to. It may still be pointing to an incorrect version.
To answer your question about ICU, it comes from the "intl" extension. With yum, this is probably called php-intl or php54-intl or php54w-intl. You can do something like "yum search intl" and it should give you the exact extension name.
I hope this helps!
So I've tried almost all the tutorials I've found here and on other sources but the problem is always the same. The extension is not installed when I call the phpinfo method.
I've added the file mongo.so to the extensions folder and I've called it on the php.ini as extension=mongo.so.
I'm using MAMP 2.2 on Mavericks and the php version is 5.5.3.
Appreciate any kind of help.
The output of phpinfo() will tell you which php.ini file (if any) is in use.
You have to modify that php.ini file and add extension=mongo.so and then restart your webserver.
One thing you need to keep in mind when you are installing the MongoDB driver for MAMP is the pecl command you are using is actually the MAMP command, not some alternative PHP install you may have on your system.
To do this, locate the PHP binary distributed with MAMP, and the use the full path to the pecl command of the MAMP installation.
