Initially, I had an Alfred workflow for this — but it has now been replaced with this utility, which also does a good job at displaying additional information at a glance, like the current PHP version, memory limits, and more.
## 🐘 Why not use Laravel Herd?
If you don't need to customize your local PHP setup and just want an easy and ready-to-go environment to start coding, [Laravel Herd](https://herd.laravel.com) is probably more than sufficient for many use cases.
If you need more customization and flexibility I encourage you to consider PHP Monitor in combination with Laravel Valet or some other solution like Docker (with Laravel Sail, for example).
## 🤬 The app won't start?!
PHP Monitor performs some integrity checks to ensure a good experience when using the app. You'll get a message telling you that PHP Monitor won't work correctly in a variety of scenarios.

Assuming you have installed the `php` formula, the latest stable version of PHP is installed. At the time of writing, this is PHP 8.2.
You can install other supported versions of PHP via PHP Monitor's **PHP Manager**. (You can manually install or upgrade PHP versions too, but this is not recommended.)

Please keep in mind that installing or updating PHP versions, even when done via PHP Monitor's **PHP Manager**, may cause other required formula dependencies (required software needed to keep those PHP versions functional) to be upgraded. It might not be very transparent when this happens, but this is likely the cause if installing a PHP version takes longer than expected: usually other dependencies are also being installed.

It might not be very transparent when this happens, but this is likely the cause if installing a PHP version takes longer than expected: usually other dependencies are also being installed.
Additionally, upgrading one specific version of PHP may also cause other installed versions of PHP to *also* be updated in one go, if the dependencies for that one version also apply to the other (newer) version(s) of PHP. It's a bit tricky to manage PHP versions via Homebrew, and even PHP Monitor may encounter some difficulties.
