Re the PHP flap today: my Apple Silicon Mac still has an older version of PHP that was auto-migrated from my previous Intel Mac. Since then, macOS has ceased providing PHP. I wonder if Apple will address this somehow, perhaps in a macOS dot-release.

If it’s still PHP 4 it doesn’t have the security issue yet!

Appears to be a symlink pointing to /usr/local/Cellar/php/8.2.6/bin/php. Perhaps that placement was done by the first version of macOS which no longer included php. I don’t know.

isn’t usr/local/Cellar a homebrew directory?

If so, my current Homebrew installation is unaware of it. That was the first place I tried, in fact. In any event, I’m not hosting anything using this PHP, so probably a non-issue at this point where I’m concerned.
