Can't make Laravel 4 to work on localhost

Question

I\'m trying Laravel for the first time after reading an announcement of the Laravel4 beta releasing.

I followed these steps I installed composer and laravel with all

Answer 1

Checking on the Requirement for the LR4, your local server must have these: PHP >= 5.3.7 MCrypt PHP Extension

Otherwise, will fail. I am facing this trouble also and now looking for an updated PHP and its extension for my XAMPP.
