I've been trying to install mcrypt extension for php 5.6 with the next commands:

brew install php56-mcrypt

with no results, I'm getting this error:

No available formula with the name "php56-mcrypt"

taken from questions like these:

According with this issue opened at Github:

this way seemed was valid until March 2018, and now there's a new formula that I haven't been able to figure out.

Any advice will be appreciated

considered php 7? and pdo? – May 15 '18 at 22:13
Be aware that the mcrypt extension has been ***DEPRECEATED*** in version 7.1 of PHP and will very likely be ***REMOVED*** from version 7.2 of PHP – SpacePhoenix May 15 '18 at 22:15
@smith I need the extension because in the project is being used Laravel 4.2 – Jose Rojas May 16 '18 at 13:33
@SpacePhoenix Project will be migrated to Laravel version 5 soon, I think this version does not require mcrypt – Jose Rojas May 16 '18 at 13:35
@JoseRojas did you get to the bottom of this. I have the same for a Laravel 4.2 project which needs running. – Kyias Aug 13 '18 at 14:36
