Hi PHP Internals,
I've been trying to get in contact with the maintainers of
libmcrypt, but every response I've gotten was, "Oh, I haven't been
a part of that for years."http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcrypt/files/Libmcrypt/
The last update to libmcrypt was in 2007. There are bug fixes in
their issue tracker collecting dust.Having a dead upstream for crypto API is a critical issue :(
FYI some downstream (ex RHEL) don't even provide this library.
Already too much crypto libraries, and it will be a mess to provide a
dead project in an Enterprise distribution.So php/mcrypt also not available.
But most applications. which use it, usually have alternative, and
make it optional (ex phpMyAdmin 4.3 now even use openssl as first choice).We probably have enough crypto API in PHP, and we probably should mark
this one as deprecated / unmaintained in 5.x, and move it to PECL (7.x).Remi.

Well then, I'll focus on migrating all my code to use openssl instead of
mcrypt. :)
I think this would be for the best.
