I am trying to install mcrypt extension on my CentOS running PHP 5.3.3.
How do i go about doing this? I have scoured the internet for clues as to how to do this, but all dont cover the entire steps needed.
If i type yum install mcrypt I get the message saying
[root@_ /]# yum install mcrypt
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
No package mcrypt available.
Error: Nothing to do
Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have a Paypal account, ill drop a few dollars in there for your help also.
Thanks

Being somewhat of a newb, how does one find the EPEL repository? Thanks for your help.

One goes to http://www.google.com and sticks "EPEL" into the search box and looks at the first thing it comes up with :-)

Its true that Google will show you the way but here is the steps needed to get you going.
First install the EPEL repo on your server
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
Then install the package needed with YUM:
# yum install php-mcrypt

Remember to restart apache so the new PHP module is active.
Enjoy
