Unfortunately, as of Mac OS X 10.11 ( El Capitan) the pre-installed version of PHP is still 5.5. As PHP 5.5 has reached, the pre-installed version of PHP in Mac OS 10.12 ( Sierra) is still only PHP 5.6. So what do you do if you want to upgrade or install a different PHP version on your Mac? Well, you could use. But I found a pre-packaged alternative -. PHP OSX is a package installer for PHP versions 5.3 to 7.1 (current). It’s available for Mac OS 10.6+ ( Snow Leopard to Sierra). While installing PHP OSX is just a few steps, I’ll walk you through each of them. Installing PHP First, choose the version of PHP you want to install. In this example, I’ll install PHP 7.1 as that is the latest stable version of PHP. However, if you want to install PHP 7.0 that is available as well. ![]() Curl -s| bash -s 7.1 If you’re not comfortable executing scripts from the Internet, you can do the. Configuring Apache Provided you are using the pre-installed version of Apache, PHP OSX will add the /etc/apache2/other/+php-osx.conf configuration file which will automatically be loaded by Apache. If you had previously enabled PHP (as I did), you’ll need to comment out the following line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so Updating your PATH Although Apache will now run the new version of PHP, the command line will not. In order for the command line to use the new version of PHP you will need to update your PATH. Export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH If you don’t want to run the command above every time you open a new terminal, you can update the PATH in your.bash_profile. Vi ~/.bash_profile Configuring PHP Finally, you will want to update some of the PHP configuration values. PHP OSX installs a PHP INI file for you to change. To edit this file, run: sudo vi /usr/local/php5/php.d/99-liip-developer.ini If you kept all of your local PHP configuration within a single INI file (as I did), you can simply append it to the PHP OSX file with: sudo cat /Library/Server/Web/Config/php/local.ini >> /usr/local/php5/php.d/99-liip-developer.ini That’s it! Now you’ll just need to review your PHP code to ensure it’s compatible with your newly installed PHP version. And for that, I recommend. Find this interesting? Continue the conversation on or in a.
