How do i install php mcrypt

[netaffairs]

There is the need here to get some specific PHP plug-in included in our environment.
The plug-in needed is called: Mcrypt support

How can I install this?
When i use yum i get this:
yum search mcrypt
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
rhel-i386-server-5 100% |=========================| 1.3 kB 00:00
No Matches found

Do i need to recompile php? When i do this and it goed wrong what can i do because this server is a production server.

Hope you can help me out.

Kind Regards

I think i just ran

yum install php-mcrypt

for me it was an easy install. i might have been lucky but it worked first time. I have no idea however how to recover from a bad install.

regards

Justin.

Its probably not in any of the repos you're using by default, I've got php-mcrypt for 5.2.8 in the [atomic] repo if you want to get that a shot.

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/installers/atomic |sh

yum install php-mcrypt

Hi atomicturtle,

At this moment I use PHP 5.1.6. Do you know a good repos with mcrypt for this version?

Thanks for the help!
