Homebrew-PHP55

PHP 5.6 formulae micro-repo

Purpose

This repo is the PHP 5.6 version of the PHP 5.5 one, which was an upgrade of the PHP 5.4 one.

The repository does not contain any PHP extensions - they can be easily installed with phpize and then manually added to php.ini or /usr/local/etc/php.ini.d/EXTENSION_NAME.ini.

The only formulae included are php and phpsh.

Installation

Open your favorite terminal and type:

brew tap tzvetkoff/php56
brew install php

--without-pear	Build without PEAR
--without-apache	Build without shared Apache 2.0 Handler module

To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

<IfModule php5_module>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

    <IfModule dir_module>
        DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

The php.ini file can be found in /usr/local/etc/php.ini

Additional php.ini files are loaded from /usr/local/etc/php.ini.d

If you have installed the formula with --with-fpm, to launch php-fpm on startup:

• If this is your first install:

  mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
  cp /usr/local/Cellar/php/<PHP_VERSION_HERE>/org.php-fpm.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
  launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.php-fpm.plist

• If this is an upgrade and you already have the org.php-fpm.plist loaded:

  launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.php-fpm.plist
  cp /usr/local/Cellar/php/<PHP_VERSION_HERE>/org.php-fpm.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
  launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.php-fpm.plist

You may also need to edit the plist to use the correct "UserName".
