Php versions – Update PHP to 7.4 macOS Catalina with brew

I try to update my PHP version to 7.4 on macOS Catalina with brew.

I did brew install [email protected]

If I check my version php -v, I still see the old version PHP 7.3.11?

What do I have to do?

Update:

After brew doctor I get:

Warning: Homebrew’s sbin was not found in your PATH but you have
installed formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin. Consider
setting the PATH for example like so: echo ‘export
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"’ >> ~/.profile

    try:

    brew update
brew upgrade php
php -v
brew services start php

    or

    brew services restart php

    if you use apache server:

    sudo apachectl restart

    if you use ngnix

    sudo nginx -s reload

    brew unlink [email protected]

    I recently faced this issue, all the suggestion here didn’t work until I ran:

    xcode-select --install

    Then ran the command I was trying before and the error stopped, for my case it was php

    dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openldap/lib/libldap-2.4.2.dylib
    Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/php
    Reason: image not found
    zsh: abort php -v

    1. I move to directory by: cd /usr/local
    2. Find the file location by: find /usr/local/ -name libphp7.so. (Then get the file location at: /usr/local//Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.23/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so. I copy this.)
    3. I open the file by: sudo vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    4. Look for the line by: /libphp7.so
    5. Uncomment the line and update the line by: LoadModule php7_module /usr/local//Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.23/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
    6. Restart apache by: sudo apachectl restart
    7. Verify PHP by accessing http://localhost/phpinfo.php

    If anyone want to downgrade php from latest 8.1.2 to 7.4 on systems demand, try the below commands with homebrew:
    Installing PHP 7.4 :

    brew install [email protected]
brew services restart php
brew unlink [email protected]
brew link [email protected]

    echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

    Or

    export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"
