PHP 7.4 came out this week, so it's time to upgrade!
On Mac, Homebrew makes the whole process painless.
First, run an update on Homebrew:
brew update
You will see any tabs available if you've updated recently then its likely you'll only see:
Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core).
==> New Formulae
php@7.3
Next upgrade PHP:
brew upgrade php
This will upgrade PHP to the latest version, which at this moment is PHP 7.4
To verify your PHP version run:
php -v
Then you should see:
PHP 7.4.0 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2019 16:18:44) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

That's all there is to it!
