Install PHP 7.2 mcrypt extension on CWP Server
The mcrypt extension has been abandonware for nearly a decade and was deprecated in PHP 7.1, It has been removed from PHP 7.2. On PHP 7.2 or newer, you can manually install mcrypt from PCEL if you use legacy PHP code that still uses outdated mcrypt extension.
To install PHP mcrypt module on PHP 7.2 in CWP server, do the following.
