So, I'm trying to install the pcntl extension on my MacBook Pro (High Sierra 10.13.4).

I tried following the guides that I can find online, but they are all outdated, since Homebrew decided to move all php packages to their core, and delete some of them in the process. (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php, WTF Homebrew?!) The pcntl php extension is one of those packages.

This was done the end of March, so very recently. Nobody asked this question since then.

Is there any other way to install the pcntl extension on a Mac?

They didn't drop the extension they decided on compiling it with php by default.

While according to this brew formular it should be available in php71 it only is available starting with php72

  • Thank you for replying :) It's just too bad that our projects require php 5.6, not 7. So I guess there is no solution for 5.6 users then? – Emmezali Jun 15 '18 at 14:41
