Hướng dẫn remove default php mac

Running macOS Sierra.

How can I complete remove all links to the default installed PHP version? I have installed PHP 7 through homebrew but when I run scripts that call external CLI applications programatically they still seem to end up using PHP 5.6.25 which is the default installed PHP version.

What can I do to break all ties to this PHP version?

My php -v and phpinfo() already show the proper PHP7 version that I installed. Somehow some scripts still try to look for the default version.

I already read you cannot simply delete it.

If you need more info please let me know.

Try this:

sudo mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php5
sudo ln -s `which php` /usr/bin/php

The first command backs up the old PHP binary. It can still be used by invoking php5 in a command line. The second command symlinks the new PHP 7 binary to the location of the old PHP binary. Therefore, scripts that use the old location will start using the new PHP version.

In my mac (version 10.13.6 High Sierra) php -v output is PHP 7.1.32 . I need to update this 7.1 version to 7.3.

i tried to remove this version using brew unlink php7.1 but it's not worked.

How can i upgrade php version.

$ brew upgrade php : ( get the latest homebrew php packages )

$ brew install : ( Install php 7.4 )

$ brew link : ( create an alias to this keg-only version; see comments output during installation )

$ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt//bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile : ( Add the alias to your path; see comments output during installation )

$ source ~/.bash_profile : ( Reload .bash_profile to use the new settings immediately )

First:

~ brew update

then install the latest php version (PHP 8.0.8 in the time of writing):

~ brew install php 

link new version to /usr/local/Cellar/php/8.0.8:

~ brew link php

then open the shell's resource file, located in ~/ (in my case Z-shell or ZSH):

~ sudo vi .zshrc

press i to insert and somewhere in your resource file append a new path to your $PATH variable, like this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt//bin

or in the case of ZSH, you should also be able to do it like this:

path+=('/usr/local/opt//bin')
export PATH

then press esc to escape from insert mode, and press :wq to save/write and quit the editor. The final step is to source the file to apply new changes permanently.

~ source .zshrc

Try new PHP version:

~ php -v

I am not sure about the 10.13.6 High Sierra version, but this worked for me.

1. php -v (To see what version php has. But you have already done that)

2. brew unlink php55 (In my case I use php 5.5)

3. brew install php73 (For the php 7.3 version.)

4. php -v (To check of the version is the one I need.)

Hope this helps.

I solved the problem maintaining homebrew for both of the arch (arm64 and x86_64). In that case I choose Homebrew location dynamically depending on the terminal arch in my .bashrc.

if [[ $(uname -m) == "x86_64" ]]; then
  echo "x86_64 detected" 
  export PATH=/usr/local/Homebrew/bin:$PATH
else
  echo "arm64 detected"
  export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
fi

And installed tmux in both of the terminal (native and rosetta) and after reload it works correctly. Full .zshrc can be found here.
