### How to install/enable __php-gd__ and __mcrypt__ in Yosemite 10.10 - PHP 5.5.14 build?

_note that following steps install newest PHP 5.5.x_

To check if you have gd and mcrypt installed use `$ php -m` to display compiled in modules, continue if you are missing desired modules and please see __[accepted answer][1]__.

## GD

&gt; So, Apple installed GD (and you&#39;re using their build of PHP, which is fine), but did not include support for PNG.

You are definitely missing &quot;full&quot; __gd (with png support)__ module if: 
[imagecreatefrompng()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefrompng.php) function is missing.

`&quot;Call to undefined function imagecreatefrompng()&quot;`

## Mcrypt

install brew using __[accepted answer][1]__ and omit part with gd installation (unless you need it), and use following steps:


  1. do search - `$ brew search mcrypt`
  2. pick the version of PHP you want
  3. install - `$ brew install php55-mcrypt`
  4. confirm using `$ php -m | grep mcrypt`
