if someone can help me, to install mcrypt and modify php

Hi @fernando_cuellar,

I guess you have a major problem. Php 7.2 isn't supported yet.

Also, I guess mcrypt is enabled by default with Xampp. Am I right?

Hello @fernando_cuellar
Php 7.2 is not yet supported, you will have to download one lower version of XAMPP.
about mcrypt extensions, you just need to open pho.ini file and remove the comment from starting of that line.

It will work

Here is the solution **mcrypt error** for PHP 7.2 + versions In Xampp, wamp, etc
Just follow the below link and download ext in the "Dell List" section. like 7.4 Thread Safe (TS) x64
Unzip file and paste both (php_mcrypt.pdb, php_mcrypt.dll) files in PHP>ext folder. Next Edit the php.ini file and add the extension

extension=mcrypt

below "; Dynamic Extensions". Restart apache, it's work for me.

As others have stated you cannot install mcrypt in xampp because

Php 7.2 is not yet supported. You can also check the PHP manual,

which states that this feature was removed in PHP 7.2.0. So, it only

works on a lower version.

Certainly! To install mcrypt in XAMPP for Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to XAMPP Installation Directory: Open your XAMPP installation directory, commonly located at C:\xampp.
2. Locate the 'php' Folder: Inside the XAMPP directory, find the 'php' folder.
3. Open 'ext' Folder: Inside the 'php' folder, locate the 'ext' folder.
4. Download mcrypt DLL: Download the appropriate version of the mcrypt DLL file from a reliable source. Ensure it matches your PHP version and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
5. Place DLL File: Copy the downloaded mcrypt DLL file into the 'ext' folder.
6. Edit php.ini: Open the 'php.ini' file located in the 'php' folder with a text editor. Add the following line at the end of the file: Copy code: extension=mcrypt.dll
7. Restart Apache: Save the changes and restart the Apache server in your XAMPP control panel.

Now, mcrypt should be successfully installed and enabled in your XAMPP environment.
