用于OS / X安装的PHP不会更新MacOs High Sierra上的php版本

Running a clean copy of MacOs Sierra on a new MBP

Since I run cakePHP 3 - I needed the intl extension, I installed PHP 7.2 for OS/X - this has worked well in the past on Yosemite.

The /etc/httpd.conf loads the factory-install libphp7.so

When I comment out and replace like this:

#LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
LoadModule  php7_module /usr/local/php5/libphp7.so

and restart Apache I get a white screen of death with an error message AH01574: module php7_module is already loaded

Restore original Mac libphp7.so and restart and phpinfo returns info and states that php 7.1 (the original macos version)

LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
#LoadModule  php7_module /usr/local/php5/libphp7.so

I am baffled how to configure Apache to use the the LiiP php 7.2

I would rather not use the homebrew versions because they are messy and the intl support is sketchy
