Only PHP7.2 through 7.4 are officially supported by Brew, but these have to be build which is pretty slow. For the latest version of PHP, I am going to use the new tap from @shivammahtur as there are many versions pre-built.
➜ brew tap shivammathur/php
# different versions of PHP
➜ brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.4
➜ brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.0
After the successful installation, you are able to find the php.ini for each version of PHP in the following directories:
/usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini
/usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php.ini
or show the php.iniby using the command:
➜ php -i | grep php.ini
switch PHP version
# switch to 7.4
brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@7.4
# switch to 8.0
brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@8.0
define the aliases
alias php74="brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@7.4"
alias php80="brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@8.0"
then type php74 or php80 to switch php versions.
