How to make composer use the latest PHP with MCrypt?

I have PHP 5.6.8 and composer installed.

Getting this all the time.

laravel/framework v5.0.9 requires ext-mcrypt * -> the requested PHP extension mcrypt is missing from your system.

Even though php 5.6.8 has mcrypt installed with it.

When I do php --version I get 5.6.8 not the Yosemite default one, so that's OK!

@aligajani check http://php-osx.liip.ch for PH bundled with the MCrypt extension.

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 5.6

Then add it to your $PATH

export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH

As per the docs found at the link above

... json ldap libxml mbstring mcrypt memcache memcached ...
