Use old versions of PHP with Laravel Valet via Homebrew
Raw
gistfile1.md

Homebrew removes old versions of php

And, since Laravel Valet uses Homebrew in it's valet use [email protected] command,
that means trying to install [email protected] now breaks because Homebrew removed it from it's core.

To install [email protected] with Homebrew

We need to tap a barrel that has the [email protected] formula.

brew tap exolnet/homebrew-deprecated

^this is a tap I found that had the [email protected] and [email protected] formulas

Now we can call, as normal:

valet use [email protected]

...as well as the standard brew commands

brew install [email protected]
brew link [email protected]

That worked but wasn't enough for me. I had to reinstall PHP 7.1 from source.

$ brew list --versions icu4c
icu4c 66.1

$ brew list --versions openssl
[email protected] 1.1.1g

$ brew reinstall --build-from-source [email protected]

$ php -v
