How to install PHP with Brew Grab the latest copy of my PHP brew and copy it into your Homebrew Formula directory. The formula isn’t added by default.

curl -O https://github.com/ampt/homebrew/raw/php/Library/Formula/php.rb
mv php.rb `brew --prefix`/Library/Formula

Install php with brew

brew install php --with-apache --with-mysql

The default location of mysql.sock is in the /tmp/mysql.sock directory. We’ll need to change this to /var/mysql/mysql.sock as this is where PHP will look for it. So first off, create a my.conf (or in this case my.cnf) file in your text editor and save it as my.cnf in the /etc folder with the following code:

[client]
socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock
 
[mysqld]
socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Next move mysql.sock to it’s new directory by typing the following code in a Terminal window:

sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Add to .bash_profile:

echo 'export PATH='`brew --prefix php`'/bin:$PATH' >> .bash_profile

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

 LoadModule php5_module    /usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.5/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

The php.ini file can be found in:

/usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.5/etc/php.ini

Second step is to install phing: 1: Go to the correct folder (with Brew)

cd /usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.5/bin

2: Make sure pear can locate the package:

./pear channel-discover pear.phing.info

3: Install phing:

./pear install phing/phing

—— And that’s all! If you want set phing in your path, you should add the following lines in your ~/.bash_profile

$ export PHP_COMMAND=/usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.5/bin
$ export PHING_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.5/bin
$ export PHP_CLASSPATH=${PHING_HOME}/classes
$ export PATH=${PATH}:${PHING_HOME}
