PHP SNMP extension is gone after php71 became [email protected] with brew

At Brew, they somehow moved php to Core https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/commit/ab5fffa7cf3b7dca77f2ffa6f6104fc09fd72221#diff-188d1e1be1dc7f3dea4ef64559d30f58

However, the SNMP extension is now missing. How to install it?

http://formulae.brew.sh/formula/php71-snmp says Formula was removed
http://formulae.brew.sh/formula/php72-snmp says the same for php 7.2

In case someone was struggling the same as I did and still want to use Homebrew, here's what I did: It's workaround but it works at least until the issue is resolved properly by Homebrew.

Fork https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/

Reset the fork's master branch to latest working commit 5c90bd4 and force push to remote master on GitHub

Untap Homebrew/homebrew-php

brew untap homebrew/homebrew-php

Tap your fork

brew tap <your github username>/homebrew-php

After that when you run brew search php you'll see all good ol' php versions and extensions are available.

Or you can use this tap https://github.com/kabel/homebrew-php-ext as the guy from Issue I created put together

According to SMillerDev, this extension is now compiled into PHP.

yes, the extensions are now compiled into PHP instead of shared. So you need to remove the config files for the old shared extensions.

and as you know, he also said:

SNMP was excluded from the build because it crashes Apache.

but there is for now no open issues in hombebrew-core about this.
