Updating to php 7.3

Try running brew info php73 and see what is returned.

Use homestead. Then you won't need to worry about your local environment

Laravel valet is amazing, and the setup is typically pretty straight forward. I suggest @sarahs74 keeps trying as it is worth it.

@mstrauss

This is what I get:

Error: No available formula with the name "php73" 
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Warning: homebrew/core is shallow clone. To get complete history run:
  git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" fetch --unshallow

Error: No previously deleted formula found.

Okay, so maybe try the same thing with php72, php71,... until you find the version that is available in your brew setup. And if you need a newer version to run Valet, you can install and link that version with homebrew quite easily.

I'm supposed to have 7.3 but it is the linking that is the issue.

How can I find out what is already linked?

Maybe give this a shot, from this thread -> https://github.com/laravel/valet/issues/533

brew unlink php && brew link php
brew services restart --all
composer global update
valet start

When I did this:

brew unlink php && brew link php

I got:

Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.9_1... 0 symlinks removed
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.9_1... 
Error: Could not symlink sbin/php-fpm
/usr/local/sbin is not writable.

Is this on Mojave?

I think you must update brew with :

brew update

and then

brew upgrade php

@antlusher yes

@benyamin001 I tried that and I still can't do brew link php73

@sarahs74

Checkout this thread: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4527#issuecomment-346483994

I still get:

Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/php73

after

brew upgrade php

,your default php upgrade just check

php -v 

I had the exact issues with Moj - so I used Homestead instead. Doing so will keep things all wrapped together in a little VM.

I love running native, but sometimes you can mess up your host envrionment

I think I'll just skip past this part of the tutorial and move on.

For me the

 brew unlink php && brew link php
 brew services restart --all
 composer global update
 valet start

worked like a charm when upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3 and restarting valet. Which imho is a much better setup than using homestead,do not follow that advice to abandon it.

im still getting a

502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.19.1

error, not sure what is going on , ive tried everything but nothing seems to work. almost tempted to reboot my mac to see if that fixes it. hope someone can help
