Building the MAMP stack (php, apache & mysql) on Apple Silicon ARM (native)

Update! This tutorial is outdated. Nowadays brew installes m1 binaries just fine. Also use valet: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/valet. It's 10x easier.

In this tutorial, we'll build the the nescessary packages for ARM via homebrew. After that we'll configure apache2 for using virtual hosts. The native php is ofcourse way faster, see the results of this benchmark below.

Replace mcrypt_encrypt with openssl_encrypt

If you switch from PHP 5.x to 7.1 you will get the following message:

"Function mcrypt_encrypt() is deprecated"

Now it is the right time to refactor this old function :-)

function encrypt(string $data, string $key, string $method): string
