PHP 7.1 install with Homebrew - error running brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php

I'm trying to install PHP 7.1 on my Mac using Brew. I do not have any version of PHP other than what Apple installs as default.

I've run the following commands (based on various posts) to install PHP 7.1:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php

When I run the brew tap for homebrew-php I get the following messages (copied from terminal). Can anyone suggest what I need to do?

brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php

I realized I needed to add homebrew/php to my repositories then I was able to run brew install homebrew/php/php71 and it worked. I have to wonder if I might had a typo. Either way, it installed a bunch of dependencies and it just worked.
