php failed to build on 10.9.5

[BaxterZZZ]

My actual goal is to get php 5.4 or 5.5 or something in the 5 range to work with TLS 1.2 on my mac running 10.9.5 mavericks. I was able to install tigerbrew. From there I installed wget and that brought in OpenSSL 1.0.2j that supports TLS 1.2 and I updated the expired root certificates for Let's Encrypt. Then curl could connect with a test site via TLS 1.2, but php still used TLS 1. So, I wanted to install a new php built to use OpenSSL.

I tried these fairly recent instructions and none of the taps seem to exist anymore: https://ofstack.com/PHP/35753/installing-php-5.5.-15-with-brew-in-an-mac-environment.html

Also, brew install php55 -> Error: No available formula for php55 And brew install php gives the error below that says to contact you. Thanks! BaxterZZZ

Is Tigerbrew still a live community? Should I be using macports or phpbrew instead?

[mistydemeo]

How did you get that homebrew-core/Formula/php.rb file? It's not from Tigerbrew.

[BaxterZZZ]

I tried a few brew tap commands. Most of them said "not found" but one of them downloaded some things. It was challenging to get anything started because my machine had issues making the secure connection to github and then had the master root certificate issues, but I finally for openssl 1.0.2j installed and added the new certs so at least that works, and I have a personal key now for github downloads. Even though I installed brew via Tigerbrew (brew said my system was too old), I am not really clear whether it only contacts tigerbrew when I use the brew command or whether it goes to regular homebrew(?) Most importantly, can you suggest a way to get from where I am now to an installed version of php that uses the new OpenSSL 1.0.2j ? Thanks!

I am happy to test out any commands that you suggest and most the results!
