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

Go to the CLI folder in your php instalation, and find php.ini in there and enable mcrypt. Terminal sometimes uses another php.ini, which is usually in the CLI folder.
