However , I wanted to setup firebase integration with laravel and it requires php 7. (kreait/firebase-php ^4.0)

You can eassy install php 7 using homebrew.

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew unlink php56
brew install php70

Thin you can check the version as follows .

$ php --version
But if you have enabled defult php in Mac Os , you will see  it will return 5.6

In order to chanage this you have to edit the httpd.conf file of apache.
  •  Stop apache -    sudo apachectl stop
  • move to etc/ apache2. -    cd /etc/apache2
  • backup httpd.conf.   - sudo cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.errorfreebackup
  • open the file in vim -  sudo vi httpd.conf
  • Comment the entry below using # - press I
  • From
    LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
    To

#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
  • Save file  : press Esc then "wq!"
  • Start apache : sudo apachectl start
