phpbrew compiles php from the souce. I guess some header files (which php depends on) are too new for the old php.

[sheanhoxie]

Where can I start looking regarding the header files? I'd like to see if I can find a workaround or fix for this, but I dont even know where to begin looking

@sheanhoxie Take a look at issue #899, it is probably a problem with a breaking change in icu4c version 59.* - meaning you want the previous version installed to compile PHP.

I don't know if the following will work for you, but you should do something like this:

$ echo "Unlinks bad icu4c ... " && brew unlink icu4c
$ echo  "Installs good icu4c along existing one" && brew install --force https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ilovezfs/homebrew-core/d2485c72643aa7e6aec0da9ced3aa66401ae42ce/Formula/icu4c.rb
$ [[ 2 -eq "$(brew info icu4c | grep Cellar | grep 58 | wc -l)" ]] && echo "Success" || echo "Failure"
$ echo "Your install command ..."
$ phpbrew install 5.3.29 +default +openssl +intl +fpm -- --with-icu-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/58.2/

@sheanhoxie Did you ever get 5.3.29 installed?

[sheanhoxie]

@steveoliver No, trying to get the environment setup using Docker atm

Can we apply the same fix to phpbrew that was applied to fix https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4383
