Debugging

  • Make sure you ran brew update before installing PHP.

  • Run brew doctor and fix the warnings it reports.

  • Make sure homebrew has correct permissions.

sudo chown -R "$(id -un)":"$(id -gn)" $(brew --prefix)
  • If PHP is not working after a macOS update. Reinstall PHP along with its dependencies.

For example to reinstall PHP 8.0 and its dependencies:

brew reinstall $(brew deps shivammathur/php/[email protected]) shivammathur/php/[email protected]
  • Check if your issue is a Homebrew's common issue.
