Update PHP to 7.4 macOS Catalina with brew

Question

I try to update my PHP version to 7.4 on macOS Catalina with brew.

I did brew install [email protected]

If I check my version php -v, I still see the old version PHP 7.3.11?

What do I have to do?

Update:

After brew doctor I get:

Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin. Consider setting the PATH for example like so: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile

try:

brew update
brew upgrade php
php -v
brew services start php

or

brew services restart php

if you use apache server:

sudo apachectl restart

if you use ngnix

sudo nginx -s reload

Edit:

brew unlink [email protected]
brew link [email protected]
