Possibly related to this question, but I need some clarification.

I'm managing a Mac Mini server with brew's php54 installed. I did not do the install; the developer who did has since left the company. As such, I don't know what extensions php was compiled with, and because the server's in use, I don't want to break it.

Is it possible to install the --with-imap support without losing any current extensions? E.g. if it was run as brew install php54 --with-mcrypt, will brew reinstall php54 --with-imap remove mcrypt?

If it will lose extensions, is it possible to find what php was compiled with, to recreate the brew install command?

php -m

will list modules compiled in (this list is likely longer then what is implied by the following command: 

brew info php54

will show the install options of the current (and previous) installs

Example (with mutt instead of php54: 

/usr/local/Cellar/mutt/1.6.1 (88 files, 4.7M) *
  Built from source on 2016-05-10 at 16:02:12 with: --with-confirm-attachment-patch --with-gpgme --with-s-lang

Use the options listed there and add the one you need.
