I try to update my PHP version to 7.4 on macOS Catalina with brew.
I did brew install php@7.4
If I check my version php -v, I still see the old version PHP 7.3.11?
What do I have to do?
Update:
After brew doctor I get:
Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin. Consider setting the PATH for example like so: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile

You can find my similar answer for php@7.2.
brew install php@7.4brew link --force --overwrite php@7.4brew services start php@7.4export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin:$PATH"export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/sbin:$PATH"
try:
brew update
brew upgrade php
php -v
brew services start php
or
brew services restart php
if you use apache server:
sudo apachectl restart
if you use ngnix
sudo nginx -s reload
Edit:
brew unlink php@7.3
brew link php@7.4
If anyone want to downgrade php from latest 8.1.2 to 7.4 on systems demand, try the below commands with homebrew: Installing PHP 7.4 :
brew install php@7.4
brew services restart php
brew unlink php@8.1
brew link php@7.4
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
Or
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/sbin:$PATH"

I recently faced this issue, all the suggestion here didn't work until I ran:
xcode-select --install
Then ran the command I was trying before and the error stopped, for my case it was php
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openldap/lib/libldap-2.4.2.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin/php Reason: image not found zsh: abort php -v
- I move to directory by: cd /usr/local
- Find the file location by: find /usr/local/ -name libphp7.so. (Then get the file location at: /usr/local//Cellar/php@7.4/7.4.23/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so. I copy this.)
- I open the file by: sudo vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
- Look for the line by: /libphp7.so
- Uncomment the line and update the line by: LoadModule php7_module /usr/local//Cellar/php@7.4/7.4.23/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
- Restart apache by: sudo apachectl restart
- Verify PHP by accessing
