Yu most rename original libphp:

sudo mv /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so.origin

and link the new homebrew php lib installed

sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.29/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

and then restart apachectl

sudo apachectl restart

that works for me

I think this is what you are looking for:

http://phpbrew.github.io/phpbrew/

It lets you build any number of php versions, switch between them and set defaults. Add and remove extensions and more.

Good luck!
