Add a quick start how to install PHP using homebrew on macOS/OX. Comes out as this:

This looks somehow inconsistent. The PR says "The quickest way to install php on macOS is with homebrew:", but the second link refers to a section which claims that PHP would be bundled with macOS. If that's true, there would be no need to install at all.

Furthermore, the first link refers to a section which lists four package managers (homebrew being the last in the list). If the other package managers are no longer relevant, or inferior, maybe it would be better to change that page to clarify that, and also to link to brew.sh from there (and to leave the overview as is).

@cmb69 tbh I have never heard a developer using mac using anything else than homebrew. Furthermore I would personally fould those two pages into one, or make the one with the list only about homebrew. Lastly, AFAIK, and @carusogabriel can confirm, the PHP version coming with MACOS is ancient and has certain issues.

@WyriHaximus, then please feel free to fold these pages. :)

I can't, but I've been using Homebrew for a while to manage my PHP versions locally :)

the PHP version coming with MACOS is ancient...

Mine has 7.3.11, which I don't think qualifies as ancient at the time of writing.

Agreed.

I have. While homebrew is indeed (from my experience) a very common option, it's not the only one used out there.

Furthermore I would personally fould those two pages into one, or make the one with the list only about homebrew.

No thanks, on both accounts. I have no problem, however, with putting homebrew at the top of the list of package providers (fixing the link to it), and removing any package providers that are are now obsolete (if any).

Nice, that's not as bad as I thought.

Two of them seems to be not updated for a year, the otherone not sure

Anything else besides the ones listed on the packages page?

Might more make sense to move the quickstart to that page and list the others are alternatives.

I think this would be a sensible approach.

Updated, the pages, and also the preview in the OP
