How to replace PHP on OS X Server 5.x with PHP via Homebrew
The version of PHP on OS X Server 5.x is v.5.3.x. As of this writing, the current distro of PHP on Homebrew is v.7.4.12. You will lose the ability to control PHP loading from the GUI.
To prep, you should have prepared a phpinfo.php file on your website in an orphan directory so you can check all the modules that load with PHP. It is simply a text file with the name phpinfo.php and the content is:
phpinfo();
Don’t worry if PHP is currently running.
Install PHP via Homebrew:
brew install php
