kabel/php-ext

Core PHP extension formulae for the Homebrew package manager. These extensions are not a part of Homebrew/core because they are either not popular enough or have known stability problems.

This tap includes one of the sources for the popular imap extension that isn’t included in the core homebrew php formulae because of default system performance issues.

What about other formulae (PECL)?

Users have previously asked about a tap that contains pre-built binary packages (bottles) of other PHP extensions, like xdebug and imagick. Initially I didn’t want to try and support those and encouraged users to use the pecl installer. Now that the upstream PHP team is phasing out the PEAR/PECL tools in the newest releases, I’ve started a new tap that has some of the most popular extensions from the PECL registry.

See kabel/pecl. And consider tapping it too: brew tap kabel/pecl

How do I install these formulae?

Run

brew tap kabel/php-ext

followed by

brew install <formula>

Troubleshooting
