如何将 MCRYPT 路径设置回 MAMP Pro

Question

I've done installing MCRPYT at MAMP Pro with PHP 7.2 and I was able to run my old project Laravel 4.2.

Here are the list of what I have in my MAMP PHP.ini

extension=mcrypt.so

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir
extension_dir = "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.1/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20170718/"

But when I run which mcrypt it default to /usr/local/bin/mcrypt which I thought it should be under MAMP Pro.

The reason why I am asking this is because, I wanted to upgrade my project Laravel 4.2 to 5.0. And here's the problem when I tried installing fresh Laravel 5.0

composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.1/conf/php.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Answer 1

If php version lower than 7.1:

Install and enable mcrypt:

sudo apt-get install mcrypt php-mcrypt
sudo phpenmod mcrypt

Try to find your php.ini and open it.

vim php.ini

Put one line in to this file

extension=mcrypt.so

Restart php and apache.

Else

Try to upgrade your laravel version greater than 5.5. like:

     "laravel/framework": "5.5.*"

Because the framework that you install is 5.0, it require PHP >= 5.4, PHP < 7 . See: https://laravel.com/docs/5.0#server-requirements
