Installing/Configuring
In case you are an operator and you are not familiar with the generation of software you must know, that the installation of additional libraries may be insufficient. You may suffer a malfuntion of the package with the known http server log message: "Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration." although you expect the configuration to be right.
For an operator, generation of software is inconvenient. Instead you should check your PHP basic installation. The problem may be that you do not have extracted the mcrypt extension during the installation process. Using the Windows installer, you may change your installation by rerunning the setup. In case you have the right php.ini, the extension declaration in php.ini and libmcrypt.dll in the system path the extension should work. Keep control in the http server log!
Installation
You need to compile PHP with the --with-mcrypt[=DIR] parameter to enable this extension. DIR is the mcrypt install directory. Make sure you compile libmcrypt with the option --disable-posix-threads.

If you wish to install mcrypt on Windows, you should also place libmcrypt.dll in the PATH of your system.
