I have been using php with mamp on mac for a year even with old versions of MacOS, since I installed MacOS Monterrey if I type php
on the terminal I get a message:zsh: command not found: php
Using older versions of MacOS I have never had this problem.
How can I solve the problem?

When I update MacOS Monterey, PHP was remove. I found this article it useful and solve this problem for me. //wpbeaches.com/updating-to-php-versions-7-4-and-8-on-macos-12-monterey
Add the PHP formulae
brew tap shivammathur/php
Choose the PHP version – this example uses 7.4
brew install shivammathur/php/
Link the PHP Version
brew link --overwrite --force
Restart the Terminal
php -v

Homebrew users:
This can happen simply because your php version is not linked.
Goto /usr/local/Cellar, list out the content and see what versions of php you have installed. You should see directories and symlinks as so:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 7 May 22 2019 php72 ->
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 7 Feb 26 2020 php73 ->
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 7 Jun 12 2020 php74 ->
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 7 Jan 22 2021 php80 ->
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 7 Jan 4 11:58 php81 ->
drwxr-xr-x 3 kazajhodo staff 96 Jan 4 11:34
drwxr-xr-x 3 kazajhodo staff 96 Aug 8 19:32
drwxr-xr-x 4 kazajhodo staff 128 Jan 4 11:55
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 18 Jan 22 2021 -> /usr/local/bin/php
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kazajhodo admin 18 Jan 4 11:58 -> /usr/local/bin/php
If the version you want is there, you can link it with brew link
.
Then your bash should have php defined.
Installing php again will also work, because it will add the symlink in the install process; but you only likely actually need the symlink.

I have same problem and this is the solution that I use for this.
install Xcode using your terminal
xcode-select --install
install homebrew using your terminal
/bin/bash -c "$[curl -fsSL //raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh]"
when it finish the process you need to add the homebrew in your path and for this put this code
echo 'eval "$[/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv]"' >> /Users/**xxxxxxx**/.zprofile eval "$[/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv]"
xxxxxxx write your user name
now you can check if homebrew is run correctly, use the next code.
brew --version
you can see in the terminal the version that you have install in your pc
now is time for install php for this
brew install php
finally, you can try see the version of php installed
php --version

If you want the latest PHP release in macOS Monterey then follow these steps:
1: brew tap shivammathur/php
2: brew install shivammathur/php/
3: brew link --overwrite --force
to check if its working, write this in the terminal: php -v
if you get something along the lines of PHP 8.2.0-dev [cli] then its working

You have to edit the file .zshrc
vim ~/.zshrc
and Then you update the path for your php
type on "?" search "php" ... type enter, it will show you the line where php is. If not you have to add the path of your PHP.
You use Mamp, then it should on the root of mamp. set it on your .zshrc
This my .zshrc related to php :
#export PATH="/usr/local/opt//bin:$PATH"
#export PATH="/usr/local/opt//sbin:$PATH"
#export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt//bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt//sbin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

Just using brew install php
will install the latest php in mac. You can then enable php in Apache by adding the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
LoadModule php_module/usr/local/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

You probably need to fix it in the .bashrc
file.
Do this:
Open the terminal and run this command:
nano ~/.bashrc
Then add this line in the .bashrc
file:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/php/bin
Save and exit [ctrl + x
]
