You can only install supported versions of PHP with brew. However, there is the tap shivammathur/php which can be used to install unsupported version of PHP.

  1. brew tap shivammathur/php
  2. brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.3
  3. brew link php@7.3

The first step only needs to be done once. After adding the tap, you can install PHP version 5.6 - 8.2.

BTW, brew install php@7.4 gives out same warning, but does install php7, so this could be an option
