Homebrew-PHP

A centralized repository for PHP-related brews.

Common Issues

Bugs inevitably happen - none of us is running EVERY conceivable setup - but hopefully the install process can be made smoother through the following tips:

  • If you have recently upgraded your Mac OS version or Xcode, read this section.
  • Upgrade your OS X to the latest patch version. So if you are on 10.7.0, upgrade to 10.7.4 etc.
  • Ensure Xcode is installed and up to date.
  • Run brew update. If you tapped an old version of homebrew-php or have an old brew installation, this may cause some installation issues.
  • Run brew upgrade. This will upgrade all installed formulae. Sometimes an old version of a formula is installed and this breaks our dependency management. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to force homebrew to upgrade only those we depend upon. This is a possible fix for those with libxml related compilation issues.
  • If brew doctor complains about Error: Failed to import: homebrew-php-requirement or similar, you can find broken php requirement files using find $(brew --prefix)/Library/Formula -type l -name "*requirement.rb". Run this with the -delete flag if you are sure the results of the find contain only the files producing import failures. You can also remove them manually.
  • If you upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.x, please also upgrade to the latest Xcode, 5.0.1 and make sure you re-install Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install Xcode 5 command line tool installation
  • If you are using Xcode 4, install the Command Line Tools. If you think you have them installed, please ensure that an update of Xcode or OS X did not remove them. You can verify this by launching Xcode, opening preferences, going to the Downloads tab, and clicking the Install button: command line tool installation
  • Delete your ~/.pearrc file before attempting to install a PHP version, as the pear step will fail if an existing, incompatible version exists. We try to detect and remove them ourselves, but sometimes this fails.
  • Run brew doctor and fix any issues you can.
  • If you are using Mountain Lion 10.8.x, please install XQuartz so that the png.h header exists for compilation of certain brews. Mountain Lion removes X11, which contained numerous headers. A permanent fix is forthcoming.
  • If you upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.x, please also upgrade to the latest Xcode, 4.4.
  • File an awesome bug report, using the information in the next section.
  • If you have a failing install due to GD build test failed, try running the following before attempting to reinstall:
brew rm freetype jpeg libpng gd zlib
brew install freetype jpeg libpng gd zlib

Doing all of these might be a hassle, but will more than likely ensure you either have a working install or get help as soon as possible.

Common upgrade issues

If you have recently upgraded your Mac OS X version or Xcode, you may have some compilation or missing libraries issues. The following information may help you solve most of the problems:

  • Ensure you have properly upgraded CLT depending on your Xcode version.
  • Proceed step by step to isolate the responsible formula. If you need to install php55 and php55-imagick, don't do brew install php55 php55-imagick. Just do brew install php55, ensure everything is working as expected, check the output of phpinfo(), restart your Apache server with sudo apachectl restart. Then you can install the next formula brew install php55-imagick.
  • If php53, php54 or php55 build fails, remove all their dependencies and reinstall the formula. For instance: If brew install php55 fails, do the following: brew rm php55 && brew deps php55 | xargs brew rm. If brew install php55 -- with-gmp fails, do the following: brew rm php55 && brew deps php55 --with-gmp | xargs brew rm. Then reinstall a clean version of the formula: brew update && brew upgrade && brew install php55.
  • If an extension build fails, try also to remove all its dependencies and reinstall it.

SUPERHACK DANGEROUS DON'T DO IT

If none of the above works, and we are unable to fix your issue after you've filed a bug report, try installing the OS X GCC Installer. A small number of users have reported success after doing so.


Filing Bug Reports

Please include the following information in your bug report:

  • OS X Version: ex. 10.7.3, 10.6.3
  • Homebrew Version: brew -v
  • PHP Version in use: stock-apple, homebrew-php stable, homebrew-php devel, homebrew-php head, custom
  • Xcode Version: 4.4, 4.3, 4.0, 3 etc.
    • If you are on Mountain Lion 10.8.x, please also upgrade to the latest Xcode, 4.4.
    • If using 4.3, verify whether you have the Command Line Tools installed as well
    • If on Snow Leopard, you may want to install the OS X GCC Installer
  • Output of gcc -v
  • Output of php -v
  • Output of brew install -V path/to/homebrew-php/the-formula-you-want-to-test.rb --with-your --opts-here within a gist. Please append any options you added to the brew install command.
  • Output of brew doctor within a gist

This will help us diagnose your issues much quicker, as well as find commonalities between different reported issues.

Background

This repository contains PHP-related formulae for Homebrew.

(This replaces the php formulae that used to live under adamv's homebrew-alt repository.)

The purpose of this repository is to allow PHP developers to quickly retrieve working, up-to-date formulae. The mainline homebrew repositories are maintained by non-php developers, so testing/maintaining PHP-related brews has fallen by the wayside. If you are a PHP developer using homebrew, please contribute to this repository.

Requirements

  • Homebrew
  • Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion. Untested everywhere else.
  • The homebrew dupes tap - brew tap homebrew/dupes

Installation

[Brew Tap]

Setup the homebrew/dupes tap which has dependencies we need:

brew tap homebrew/dupes

Then, run the following in your commandline:

brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php

Usage

Tap the homebrew/dupes repository into your brew installation:

brew tap homebrew/dupes

Tap the repository into your brew installation:

brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php

Note: For a list of available configuration options run:

brew options php55

Then install php53, php54, php55, or any formulae you might need:

brew install php55

That's it!

Please also follow the instructions from brew info at the end of the install to ensure you properly installed your PHP version.

Installing Multiple Versions

Using multiple PHP versions from homebrew-php is pretty straightforward.

If using Apache, you will need to update the LoadModule call. For convenience, simply comment out the old PHP version:

# /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# Swapping from PHP53 to PHP54
# $HOMEBREW_PREFIX is normally `/usr/local`
# LoadModule php5_module    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/php53/5.3.25/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
LoadModule php5_module    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/php54/5.4.15/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

If using FPM, you will need to unload the plist controlling php, or manually stop the daemon, via your command line:

# Swapping from PHP53 to PHP54
# $HOMEBREW_PREFIX is normally `/usr/local`
cp $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/php54/5.4.15/homebrew-php.josegonzalez.php54.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew-php.josegonzalez.php53.plist
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew-php.josegonzalez.php54.plist

If you would like to swap the PHP you use on the command line, you should update the $PATH variable in either your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

# Swapping from PHP53 to PHP54
# export PATH="$(brew --prefix josegonzalez/php/php53)/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$(brew --prefix josegonzalez/php/php54)/bin:$PATH"

Please be aware that you must make this type of change EACH time you swap between PHP minor versions. You will typically only need to update the Apache/FPM when upgrading your php patch version.

PEAR Extensions

If installing php53 or php54, please note that all extensions installed with the included pear will be installed to the respective php's bin path. For example, supposing you installed PHP_CodeSniffer as follows:

pear install PHP_CodeSniffer

It would be nice to be able to use the phpcs command via commandline, or other utilities. You will need to add the installed php's bin directory to your path. The following would be added to your .bashrc or .bash_profile when running the php54 brew:

export PATH="$(brew --prefix php54)/bin:$PATH"

Some caveats:

  • Remember to use the proper php version in that export. So if you installed the php53 formula, use php53 instead of php54 in the export.
  • Updating your installed php will result in the binaries no longer existing within your path. In such cases, you will need to reinstall the pear extensions. Alternatives include installing pear outside of homebrew-php or using the homebrew-php version of your extension.
  • Uninstalling your homebrew-php php formula will also remove the extensions.

Contributing

The following kinds of brews are allowed:

  • PHP Extensions: They may be built with PECL, but installation via homebrew is sometimes much easier.
  • PHP Utilities: php-version, php-build fall under this category.
  • Common PHP Web Applications: phpmyadmin goes here. Note that WordPress would not qualify because it requires other migration steps, such as database migrations etc.
  • PHP Frameworks: These are to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Generally, only a recent, stable version of a popular framework will be allowed.

If you have any concerns as to whether your formula belongs in PHP, just open a pull request with the formula and we'll take it from there.

PHP Extension definitions

PHP Extensions MUST be prefixed with phpVERSION. For example, instead of the Solr formula for PHP54 in solr.rb, we would have Php54Solr inside of php54-solr.rb. This is to remove any possible conflicts with mainline homebrew formulae.

The template for the php54-example pecl extension would be as follows. Please use it as an example for any new extension formulae:

require File.join(File.dirname(FILE), 'abstract-php-extension')

class Php54Example < AbstractPhp54Extension
  init
  homepage 'http://pecl.php.net/package/example'
  url 'http://pecl.php.net/get/example-1.0.tgz'
  sha1 'SOMEHASHHERE'
  version '1.0'
  head 'https://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/example/trunk', :using => :svn

  def install
    Dir.chdir "example-#{version}" unless build.head?

    ENV.universal_binary if build.universal?

    safe_phpize
    system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}", phpconfig
    system "make"
    prefix.install "modules/example.so"
    write_config_file unless build.include? "without-config-file"
  end
end

Before testing the extension, you will need run the command brew tap --repair to create a symlink in $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Library/Formula.

Before finalizing the extension, run the command brew audit to check that your formula respects Homebrew best practice and syntax.

Defining extensions inheriting AbstractPhp5(345). Extension will provide a write_config_file which add ext-{extension}.ini to conf.d, don’t forget to remove it manually upon extension removal. Please see abstract-php-extension.rb for more details.

Please note that your formula installation may deviate significantly from the above; caveats should more or less stay the same, as they give explicit instructions to users as to how to ensure the extension is properly installed.

The ordering of formula attributes, such as the homepage, url, sha1, etc. should follow the above order for consistency. The version is only included when the URL does not include a version in the filename. head installations are not required.

All official PHP extensions should be built for all stable versions of PHP included in homebrew-php. These versions are 5.3.27, 5.4.22 and 5.5.6.
