MAMP PHP restrictions
I installed MAMP latest and noticed that they only expose PHP 8.3.something as the highest version. The previous version of MAMP went up to 8.4.1 but they appear to have downgraded that with the most recent release, and have locked PHP 8.4+ away under MAMP Pro (which I don’t pay for).
Is this normal? Do they lock it away for a time period after a new release and then issue an update later to let regular MAMP users play, or do I have to look for a new LAMP stack on MacOS ARM?

I’m not sure. Their official changelog suggest PHP 8.5 is available on both MAMP & MAMP Pro.
Laravel Valet is free, works great and with a lower overhead, but is LEMP (nginx in the background, though you don’t have to muck with it at all) and not LAMP, so no htaccess. However, you can’t run the two side-by-side due to port clashes.

My Homebrew based set-up works fine (and it is not complicated to have multiple PHP version available).

Yeah, MAMP is was just convenient and merely laziness on my part. I should probably bite the bullet and DIY like you. Let’s face it, 2.64GB of installed code for MAMP is taking the piss a bit for a localhost environment.

The Apple command line tools? You can of course find all kind of goodies & tools in there. But yeah…
On the other hand, you are not limited by the moods of MAMP devs.

Crumbs. You could have a whole Linux virtual machine for that much storage.

Innit.
When I downloaded it earlier today and stepped through the Installer, my jaw dropped a bit at “This update will take up 2.64GB of storage”. I had to rub my eyes a couple of times in case I’d misread MB for GB.
