  "github_readme_excerpt": "Brew PHP Switcher [![CI](https://github.com/philcook/brew-php-switcher/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/philcook/brew-php-switcher/actions/workflows/ci.yml)\n=========\n\nBrew PHP switcher is a simple script to switch your Apache and CLI configs quickly between major versions of PHP.\n\nIf you support multiple products/projects that are built using either brand new or old legacy PHP functionality and you find it a pain to change config files continually this will make the whole process just one command.\n\nCaveats\n-------\n\nFor users of OSX only who have installed PHP via [Homebrew] and for PHP version 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0 only.\n\nYour Apache config must have native osx PHP module commented out.\n```sh\n#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so\n```\n\nBrew PHP Switcher will automatically add the [Homebrew]\u0027s PHP module location in the Apache config in the following format.\n```sh\n#LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php@5.6/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so\n#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.0/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.1/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.2/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.3/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.4/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@8.0/lib/httpd/modules/libphp8.so\n```\n\nVersion\n----\n\n2.3\n\nInstallation\n--------------\n```sh\nbrew install brew-php-switcher\n```\n\nWhere **5.6** exists, please replace with syntax of **5.6**, **7.0**, **7.1**, **7.2**, **7.3**, **7.4**, **8.0**, **8.1**, **8.2**, **8.3** or **8.4** depending on which version is required.\n```sh\nbrew-php-switcher 5.6\n```\n\n\u003e by default will switch apache config\n\nOptions\n--------------\n\n- `-s|-s=*` Skips apache \u0026 valet config switch for i.e\n\n```sh\n# skip apache only\nbrew-php-switcher 5.6 -s\n\n# skip valet only\nbrew-php-switcher 5",
