How can I install mcrypt under PHP7? Laravel needs it

Since Laravel4 requires mcrypt extension, and PHP7 doesn't seem to have mcrypt extension, is there any workaround for this to work?

Had the same issue - PHP7 missing mcrypt.

This worked for me. When asked, keep local PHP configuration files.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mcrypt php7.0-mcrypt
sudo apt-get upgrade

Restart FPM (or Apache or NGINX etc.) after installation.

I use, Dotdeb, an extra repository providing up-to-date all kinds of cool toys for your Debian servers like Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis etc.

  1. Update your sources.list

    deb http://packages.dotdeb.org {distribution} all 
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org {distribution} all

  2. GnuPG keys

    wget https://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg
sudo apt-key add dotdeb.gpg

  3. Update apt & build something amazing.

    sudo apt-get update

PHP7 contains mcrypt extension internally (source-path/ext/mcrypt/). But it depends on Libmcrypt soft.

Step 1.

Download libmcrypt-x.x.tar.gz from http://mcrypt.sourceforge.net/ and build it.

cd libmcrypt-x.x
./configure
make
make install

Step 2.

Rebuild PHP7 from source and add --with-mcrypt option.

./configure ... --with-mcrypt

Other way without rebuilding PHP7

cd php7-source-path/ext/mcrypt/
/php7-path/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/php7-path/bin/php-config
make && make install
echo "extension=mcrypt.so" >> /php7-path/ext/php.ini

Restart php

Even if you enable mcrypt in php.ini, this issue may occur. Try the following steps.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mcrypt php7.0-mcrypt

I am working in ubuntu 16.04 and the following commands also helped me.

whereis php  -shows the files with this name
php -v   -shows the php version
which php -shows current php version that is running on the server

do like this:

  1. wget http://jp2.php.net/distributions/php-7.0.3.tar.gz
  2. tar zxf php-7.0.3.tar.gz
  3. cd php-7.0.3/ext/mcrypt
  4. /php7-path/bin/phpize (when error such as configure: error: mcrypt.h not found. Please reinstall libmcrypt run apt-get install libmcrypt-dev)
  5. ./configure --with-php-config=/php7-path/bin/php-config
  6. (sudo) make && make install .this will install the mcrypt.so in php-7.0.3/ext/mcrypt/modules
  7. cp to the /usr/lib/php/20151012/ what is the shared extensions dir
  8. create a mcrypt.ini in /etc/php/mods-available/ write as extension=mcrypt.so
  9. create link to this such as sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/mcrypt.ini 20-mcrypt.ini in /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d
  10. create link to this such as sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/mcrypt.ini 20-mcrypt.ini in /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d
  11. sudo service nginx restart
  12. sudo service php7.0-fpm restart
  13. yes it is.
