Thanks, @snapey for sharing the link. But it is not working. I hope you can help me. Based on the above article, these were the steps I have followed.
step1:
brew unlink php && brew link php
I got this
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.4.11... 24 symlinks removed
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.4.11... 24 symlinks created
step 2:
cd ~
$ vi .zshrc
However, I have not got the following line in a terminal export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
echo $PATH SHOWS
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:/usr/local/php5/bin:/usr/local/php7.3/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/local/php5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I just faced this same issue, but in my case, for some reason, when I run brew upgrade PHP, I get PHP is not installed, so I just ran brew install PHP and the problem was fixed
