When I try to update my composer for Laravel 4 I run into an issue in my terminal. I keep getting "Laravel requires the Mcrypt PHP extension."
When I double check my installment it shows that my mcrypt is already installed.
Rachaels-MacBook-Pro-2:DRCSports rachaelhill$ brew upgrade mcrypt
Error: mcrypt-2.5.8 already installed
Rachaels-MacBook-Pro-2:DRCSports rachaelhill$ brew upgrade php54-mcrypt
Error: php54-mcrypt-5.4.15 already installed
When research google for similar issues I've found is that it's, because my command line is using a different PHP and I just need to enable mcrypt. So I was advise to fix this was to run in terminal...
/usr/bin/env php --ri mcrypt
But when doing so the output I received was, "Extension 'mcrypt' not present".
I have looked at many similar issues and try to find a way to fix this through google, but I'm clearly just not doing something right. Someone please help, so I can continue on with my project. Thank you!
