You will need Xcode and Command Line Tools installed.
You don’t have to use Fink as your package manager but I find it nice to be able to just use the commands I am used to
when working on a server.
Download the version of Fink you need for your OS http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en
Allow Fink to install to its default location /sw
I will assume you can handle the above so we will jump right in…
mkdir -p /opt/src
Found this snippet
that I started with to handle the first part of getting everything into place, but had to alter it a bit so that it would work for my use-case.

You can then run: sudo php-configure.sh 5.5.11 This assumes you have added the script to your $PATH.
Download this: https://github.com/wilmoore/php-version
Then you can export your path:
export PHP_VERSIONS="/opt/phps"
Type: which php and you should see you are using the default: /usr/bin
This gets you, at a basic level, the versions of php you may need for your IDE.
In your IDE you can set the interpreter to: /opt/phps/5.5.11/bin for example…
