I’ll just explain to you how it works on Linux, perhaps that knowledge is transferable to macOS.

On normal Linux distributions you have a configuration folder for PHP.
You have to find it, on Linux it is in /etc/php/. On Ubuntu for example, you’ll find in a subfolder for the PHP version the php.inis for apache2 (mod_php) and cli and finally a third subfolder mods-available.

So there are the following directories:

/etc/php/7.x/apache2
/etc/php/7.x/cli
/etc/php/7.x/mods-available

In the php.ini for apache is defined that additional modules are being loaded from /etc/php/7.1/apache2/conf.d/. In that folder are symlink to the mods-available folder.

A typical module loading configuration file looks like this:

root@ubuntu1804:/etc/php/7.1# cat /etc/php/7.1/mods-available/intl.ini
; configuration for php intl module
; priority=20
extension=intl.so

This works because it will look in the standard extension path for modules, you can overwrite the standard extension in your php.ini:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.extension-dir

The standard extension dir on Ubuntu is:

/usr/lib/php/<date string for each PHP version>/

Now to tie it all together for your mac:

  1. Find your php configuration folder
  2. Find whether you have a intl.so file in your extension dir
  3. Adjust your PHP configuration too load that .so file
