php:list on MacOS throws error about rymfony

[Pierstoval]

This is because of Big Sur which changed how PHP is compiled and added their own deprecation warning to php --version.

Check out this article which explains the problem: https://bbqsoftwares.com/blog/phpunit-big-sur

I'm not gonna add a workaround in Rymfony just for this specific case. Since Apple is doing things wrong and breaks everyone's workflow with PHP, I suggest you use Homebrew to install proper PHP versions, and possibly remove the built-in one.

I don't use the system version. When I try to start the server, it takes the system version.
Am I doing something wrong?

Moreover MacOS prevents the removal of the default version.

Interesting, that's indeed something we might investigate, considering the error you currently have 🤔
