How to Install PHP 8.3 on macOS

To install PHP 8.3 on macOS, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install Homebrew

Ensure you have Homebrew installed. If not, install it using:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Step 2: Add shivammathur/php Tap

Add the shivammathur/php tap, which provides the latest PHP versions:

brew tap shivammathur/php

Step 3: Install PHP 8.3

Once the tap is added, you can install PHP 8.3 using the following command:

brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]

Step 4: Link PHP 8.3

After installation, make PHP 8.3 the default version by linking it:

brew link --force --overwrite shivammathur/php/[email protected]

Step 5: Verify PHP Installation

Check if PHP 8.3 is installed correctly by running:

php -v

The output should look similar to this:

PHP 8.3.x (cli) (built: ...) ( NTS )

Step 6: Configure PHP (Optional)

You can adjust PHP configurations in the php.ini file, located here:

nano /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.3/php.ini

Once done, restart PHP services:

brew services restart [email protected]

Now PHP 8.3 should be successfully installed and running on your macOS.
