Error message: 'Error: No such file or directory' occurred when executing 'brew install php'

Question

Hi, I recently upgraded my mac and it caused some serious problems with my php installation. I had installed this previously using homebrew, so I tried reinstalling php by uninstalling it, then running brew install php. But now I'm getting this error: Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/var/homebrew/linked/php. I tried searching everywhere for this error but couldn't find a similar situation. Can anyone explain this error and maybe point me in the direction of how to fix this? Thanks.

Try to remove the php symbolic link from /usr/local/var/homebrew/linked

rm /usr/local/var/homebrew/linked/php
