Managing native PHP on OS X server

[cyberblood]

Hi,

I use OS X server for webserver and I'm having problems with PHP modules loaded etc.
The PHP version coming with OS X Server doesn't have Mcrypt and many other modules I need.There is a big mess using Brew to add some, after upgrade the version are not compatible.
There is an alternative using great distribution here, but I can't find the right way to configure php.ini

My question is: what is the right approach recommended by Apple to add modules the native PHP version?

P.S.I don't want to use MAMP, I want the built-in PHP.

Load your own PHP7 ( quick search for instructions ):

You may find better install instruction elsewhere.

maybe you can upgrade to high siera.. unsure what version php they will put.. i also don't like much MAMP but at first i think why just we don't compile all the .so library ? but reality i don't time to play around.

Trying to override the integrated components in OS X Server is all but certain to cause you problems with some other component. I’d strongly consider using a different platform if you need specific server components upgraded.
