BREW not working on Local Host PHP

I am having some trouble using BREW on my local host server. I installed brew via Terminal on my Mac and installed FREETDS using brew. I have also changed my default PHP to the MAMP PHP.

Running which php gives:

which php
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/php

But it seems the packages I install via brew don't take effect on the MAMP PHP SERVER. I cant see the FREETDS driver anywhere in PHPINFO. Any help guys?

Solution

  • The problem here lies with me using MAMP. MAMP is not compatible with brew nor does it let me install extensions. The way I got around this was completely ditch MAMP and just go with PHPBREW which is a much more flexible solution and VERY EASY to setup. If you are going to need anything remotely custom (extensions etc.) go for PHPBREW.... it will save you so much time.
