I can't install mcrypt, what should I do?

Question

PHP

All. I'm already getting on my nerves. I've been surfing the fucking internet for a week and I can't figure out how to install this damn extension.
And now in order:
I tried to just install with php and configure, it doesn’t work out
I tried through brew, it didn’t work out
I tried to make php on xampp the main one, it collapses into certificates, you can forget about the console
Where there is a clearly folded, working description, for the most stupid, on installation this damn extension, what's always wrong with it?

Answer 1

Have you installed the mcrypt package yourself? One php5-mcrypt extension is not enough.
brew install mcrypt

Answer 2

Through mac port I just installed sudo port install php-mcrypt

Answer 3

You may not have enabled it after installation.sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Answer 4

brew doctor
brew update
brew install php55-mcrypt
