How can I easily switch between PHP versions on Mac OSX?

php macos

If you have both versions of PHP installed, you can switch between versions using the link and unlink brew commands.

For example, to switch between PHP 7.4 and PHP 7.3

brew unlink php@7.4brew link php@7.3

PS: both versions of PHP have be installed for these commands to work.

I found this very good tutorial on how to install and switch php versions on OSX.

I can switch the version like

$ sphp 7.0 => PHP 7.0$ sphp 7.3 => PHP 7.3$ sphp 7.4 => PHP 7.4

Exactly what I want!

Show current version

$ php -v

Change to different version
(eg. changing from 5.5.x to version 7.0.latest) :

$ brew unlink php55$ brew install php70
