## Why I built this
## 👨‍💻 Why I built this
I wanted to be able to see at a glance which version of PHP was linked, and handle dealing with Laravel Valet in a simple app without having to deal with the terminal every time.
Initially, I had an Alfred workflow for this. But this does the job as well, while also showing me at all times which version of PHP is linked (which is the main benefit over e.g. an Alfred workflow).

## Troubleshooting

**If you are having issues, the first thing you should be doing is installing the latest version of PHP Monitor. This can resolve a variety of issues.**
### Reasons for alerts at startup
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 the following scenarios:
- The PHP binary is not located in `/usr/local/bin/php`

### Additional troubleshooting
## 📝 Additional information
#### Q: This app is doing network requests?
Please consult the [additional information](docs/ADDITIONAL.md) file that contains more information.
It's Homebrew. I can't prevent `brew` from doing things via the network when I invoke it.
PHP Monitor itself doesn't do any network requests. Feel free to check the source code or intercept the traffic, if you don't believe me.
#### Q: How can I set this up on a fresh Mac?
If you want to set up your computer for the very first time, here's how I do it:
Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) first.
Install PHP, composer, add to path:
brew install php
brew install composer
nano .zshrc
Make sure the following line is not in the comments:
export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
and add the following to your .zshrc:
export PATH=$HOME/bin:~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
Make sure PHP is linked correctly:
which php
should return: `/usr/local/bin/php`
composer global require laravel/valet
valet install
This should install `dnsmasq` and set up Valet. Great, almost there!
valet trust
Finally, run PHP Monitor (you may need to option + right-click and select Open to avoid issues with macOS Gatekeeper). Yay!
#### Q: I want PHP Monitor to start up when I boot my Mac!
You can do this by dragging *PHP Monitor.app* into the **Login Items** section in **System Preferences > Users & Groups** for your account.
Super convenient!
#### Q: PHP Monitor says that the latest version of PHP is not installed, but it is!
Try installing again using `brew install php@7.4`.
This should resolve the issue.
#### Q: PHP Monitor reports another version compared to phpinfo on my local website, what is going on?
_Beginning with version 2.0 you'll get alerts about this at startup._
If you're still seeing another version of PHP in your scripts running on your local webserver (nginx) — e.g. when running `phpinfo()` — I recommend you shut down all PHP services that are currently active. You can find out what services are active by running:
sudo brew services list | grep php
This will present to you a list of services, like so (depending on the installed versions of PHP):
```
php started root /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.php.plist
php@5.6 stopped
php@7.0 stopped
php@7.1 stopped
php@7.2 stopped
php@7.3 stopped
```
You'll want to make sure that **only one service is running** and that it is running **as `root`**. You can terminate a service by running:
sudo brew services stop {service_name}
So in order to disable PHP 7.3, you'd need to run:
sudo brew services stop php@7.3
If you notice that PHP FPM is running as your own user account, you can turn off the service by running:
brew services stop php@7.3
The easiest way to make sure that PHP Monitor works again is to run the following commands:
sudo brew services stop php
sudo brew services stop php@7.3
sudo brew services stop php@7.2
sudo brew services stop php@7.1
sudo brew services stop php@7.0
sudo brew services stop php@5.6
sudo brew services stop nginx
Then, in PHP Monitor, select "Restart php-fpm service", which should start the service.
Alternatively, you can run `sudo brew services start php@7.4` where `7.4` is your preferred version of PHP (for the latest version of PHP, you may omit `@7.4` like in the example above).
