Call to undefined function: mcrypt_module_open()

[rolo]

I recently upgraded to php 4.4.1 from ART's rpms (via yum)

I was certain that it came bundled with mcrypt -that's why I installed it in the first place-, but I'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mcrypt_module_open() in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/scripts_v2/v5functions_crypt.php on line 42

I checked in phpinfo()'s output and I don't see mcrypt anywhere except in the configure command ('--with-mcrypt=shared').
Maybe this doesn't help at all, but I noticed that the configure command for PHP in the server where this script is currently working, says '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local' and I DO see mcrypt further down in phpinfo().

Is there another update I should do?

Thanks,
Rolo

The ./Configure line of Scott is correct, i ever compile mysql and other libs as shared.

You need make a:

Code: Select all

yum install php-mcrypt

For example the package for Fedora Core 2 is named:

php-mcrypt-4.4.1-1.rhfc2.art.i386.rpm

Danny,

What you sugested worked like a charm! Thanks!
Just so I know, what exactly was going on?

If understood correctly you can compile PHP with room for extra libraries but only if they are actually installed in the host machine. Is this right?

Thanks again.

Yes is correct, and i read in many php forums that is more optimous if you compile mysql as shared (i dont understand why ).

Excuse my broken English

This is to make php more efficient, if you build those libraries into the main php module, you end up using considerably more memory in php. It also makes it possible to update those modules without having to update all of php, something I do fairly often.

Thanks for the clarification Scott and happy new year

On the other hand it also makes it a pain in the ass sometimes Happy New Year!
