brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew options php56
brew install --with-cgi php56
Find which http.conf you are using
apachectl -V | grep .conf
// or
/usr/sbin/httpd -V
My OSX Yosemite returns
SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"
Add new php5.6. Check /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.*/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so for the new php. My case was 5.6.7
sudo vim /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
// comment out LoadModule php5_module and add the following
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.7/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Swap the PHP you use on the command line, you should add the following to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or your shell's equivalent configuration file:
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php56)/bin:$PATH"
php -v // will give the php version to php 5.6.* or 5.5.* etc.
// now you can use php --ini to return which php.ini is using
php --ini
After installing xdebug.

Always reinstall extensions after installing a new PHP. My case is mcrypt and memcached.
Check if all is ok.
php -v
