PHP Monitor 6.0 comes with the new PHP Version Manager, the new Standalone Mode that allows the app to work without having Valet installed, and Instant Homebrew Response, which allows the app to respond immediately to any Homebrew changes.

How to install or upgrade

⚠️ PHP Monitor 5.8 and newer require macOS Monterey 12.4 or newer! Learn more here.

If you have an existing PHP Monitor.app in your Applications folder you can use the built-in updater.

If you haven't installed PHP Monitor yet, you can click here to download the app. Place the app in your Applications folder and you may want to consult the README file for some more information.

Patch History

v6.0.1

  • Fixed an issue where in Standalone Mode, PHP Monitor would crash trying to load service information if you had previously used brew services and need password entry to run sudo brew services commands. (#253)
  • Fixed an issue where the user could prompt a crash in PHP Monitor by using a third-party integration. In Standalone Mode, PHP Monitor no longer responds to various third-party interactions if that functionality is not available. (#252)

What's New

For a complete list of changes, find out what's new in my blogpost about PHP Monitor 6.

🆕 Standalone Mode (#192)

This feature was introduced to ensure PHP Monitor can run without needing to have Valet installed.

🆕 Instant Homebrew Response (#219)

This feature mostly guarantees that if your Homebrew setup changes, PHP Monitor doesn't need to be restarted.

🆕 PHP Version Manager

This feature was introduced to help you manage your PHP installations. It can help you install, remove, upgrade and repair PHP installations on your system.

At least, it can help you avoid having to run Homebrew commands yourself, and may help you fix certain issues with your PHP installations.

When you use the PHP Version Manager other tasks are also taken into account (like version switching back to the original version of PHP that was active, as well as some file permission tasks).

Note: This feature has been created to be as reliable as possible but depending on your local Homebrew setup you may encounter issues when running commands. PHP Monitor will let you know if something failed.
