PHP 5.5 formulae micro-repo

This repo came natural after the PHP 5.4 one.

For the moment, 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.

Open your favorite terminal and type:

brew tap tzvetkoff/php55
brew install php

If you install PHP with no options, it will install the CLI, CGI and Apache 2.0 handlers by default (and it will tie it to system's apache)

Available installation options:

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

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php/<PHP_VERSION_HERE>/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".
