PHP w/ mcrypt

jhisey

I'm not sure if this is a php or apache issue so thought I'd try here first. I installed libmcrypt (v2.5.8) on my FC9 box and enabled mcrypt support within PHP (v5.2.6). I can use it at a cli just fine but when I try to use it within a webpage, apache put a message in the error log that says: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_cbc() in ...test.php line 40

What gets me is that it says PHP Fatal error. I can run the same file at the CLI and it works just fine. Any suggestions?

Did you enable the "extension=" line in the php.ini file for mcrypt? Did you restart Apache after doing so?

If so, try making a different change in the php.ini file, e.g. toggling the value of display_errors. Restart Apache and look at a phpinfo() readout; does it reflect the change you made? If not, PHP (when executed by Apache, at least) isn't reading your php.ini file.

Does it have to be an extension= line directly in the php.ini file? All of my php extensions are currently loaded by specifying the extension in their own .ini files under /etc/php.d.

IE. mcrypt.ini reads:
extension=mcrypt.so

That should be fine then, as long as the other extensions you have .ini files for in there are also working.

Does a phpinfo() readout show an 'mcrypt' table below the initial table?
