    brew unlink php71 and brew link php72 will tweak your php command line to the right path and version, but Apache will not be affected until you change its config file.

    First, locate your httpd.conf file path:

    httpd -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG_FILE

    You may also check:

    apachectl -t -D DUMP_INCLUDES

    Then:

    Open your httpd.conf file and locate the line starting with LoadModule
    php Comment this line with #, and add your 7.2 line instead.

    You can get your line from querying the following command in the Terminal:

    brew info [email protected] | grep LoadModule it should look like: LoadModule
php7_module /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.

    so Finally, restart Apache:

    sudo apachectl restart your script should now

    be runing with php7.2 version There’s also detailed instructions about
    using a php switcher here. Once installed, you can switch from one
    version to another like this (it will link both Apache and the command
    line automatically):

    sphp 7.1

    sphp 7.2

    sphp 5.6

    etc..

    As per your comments, php7.2 successfully installed and only issue with your /usr/bin/php symlink. Please do the following steps.

    nano ~/.bash_profile

    append the below line

    alias php="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/php"

    save and exit .bash_profile then run

    source ~/.bash_profile

    Now you can run php7.2 in your terminal.
