php@8.2

brew install php@8.2 v8.2.31 PHP-3.01 AND Zend-2.0 AND BSL-1.0 AND MIT AND Apache-1.0 AND bcrypt-Solar-Designer AND BSD-2-Clause-Darwin AND BSD-2-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause AND BSD-4-Clause-UC AND ISC AND LGPL-2.1-only AND LGPL-2.1-or-later AND OLDAP-2.8 AND TCL AND Zlib keg-only

PHP 8.2 interpreter and runtime for web applications and command-line scripts (keg-only versioned formula).

Why you might care

Install PHP 8.2 alongside other PHP versions without conflicts; useful for projects targeting this specific minor version or testing compatibility. Keg-only means it won't shadow system PHP. Includes standard extensions (curl, gd, pgsql, sqlite, etc.) for typical web-dev workflows.

Caveats

To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
    LoadModule php_module $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/php@8.2/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>

Finally, check DirectoryIndex includes index.php
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

The php.ini and php-fpm.ini file can be found in:
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/php/8.2/

Keg-only reason
