mcrypt library missing in php installation

[bharatkumarp]

Hi,

I installed php5.6 using command "brew install [email protected]". After installation, when I run "make composer" in our php source, I see error like below.

Error info:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - onelogin/php-saml 2.11.0 requires ext-mcrypt * -> the requested PHP extension mcrypt is missing from your system.
    - onelogin/php-saml 2.11.0 requires ext-mcrypt * -> the requested PHP extension mcrypt is missing from your system.
    - Installation request for onelogin/php-saml 2.11.0 -> satisfiable by onelogin/php-saml[2.11.0].

Here is the version in my Mac(mcrypt not present in path):

(base) BPERUMAL-M-50R9:website bperumal$ php -v
PHP 5.6.40 (cli) (built: Apr  6 2022 05:39:05)

My colleague does not have this problem. I checked his Php version.
My colleague has php version as php5-5.6.36-20180703-123509(mcrypt libarary exist)

I did run the command "brew reinstall $(brew deps shivammathur/php/[email protected]) shivammathur/php/[email protected]" but still the library mcrypt not installed

Could you suggest any solution to this problem?

Thanks
Bharat

Is it also for another php extensions that need to install?
