can't find mcrypt => Call to undefined function Laravel\mcrypt_create_iv()

Question

Trying to set up Laravel and keep getting hit with this error. I installed mcrypt through brew and it is located in /usr/local/Cellar. Any thoughts? .. It\'s not showing up

Answer 1

You don't have the mcrypt PHP extension installed.

For a Mac, I followed these instructions: mcrypt on Mac 10.7 or 10.8.

They look like a lot, but it's not, it's very easy to follow in it works!
