Mcrypt with Mamp Pro on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10

After the Yosemite update yesterday, something is messed up with the Mcrypt extension. The PHP based artistan CLI of the Laravel framework returns:

Mcrypt PHP extension required.

The PATH variable seems to be correct. Where is the misconfig? Before the update everything worked fine.

UPDATE:

Mamp-log says for every extension enabled in php.ini:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.1/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/mcrypt.so' - dlopen(/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.1/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/mcrypt.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

Solution

I've contacted MAMP support, and this is what they responded.

Hi,

Our php.ini file is messed up for 5.6.1. Go to your template files and change this line

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.1 ....

to

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.1/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226

We will have a full fix in a few days. You can also just downgrade to php 5.5. in the meantime.
