brew reinstall php56-mcrypt --build-from-source    Do this   pass the --build-from-source flag   for each module which needs to be compiled with the same version   It may also require PHP options depending on your plugins  If so  brew reinstall php56 --with-thread-safety  To see all of the options for php version  run brew options php56  replacing 56 with your version

This is an old thread  but I stumbled across it when trying to solve a similar problem     For me  I got this particular error relating to the php wincache dll   I was in the process of updating PHP from 5 5 38 to 5 6 31 on a Windows server   For some reason  not all of the DLL files updated with the newest versions   Most did  but some didn t     So  if you get an error similar to this  make sure all the extensions are in place and updated

Looks like you haven t upgraded PHP modules  they are not compatible    Check extension dir directive in your php ini  It should point to folder with 5 2 modules    Create and open a phpinfo file and search for extension dir to find the path   Since you did upgrade  there is a chance that you are using old php ini that is pointing to 5 1 modules

This happened to me when I tried to install a newer version of PHP  After finding that I also would need to reconfigure Apache for that I switched back to the old PHP version  Here the solution which worked for me   change the httpd conf to the correct versions    PHPIniDir      LoadModule php5 module       Changed the   PATH - Environment Variable   When that does not take any effect  rename or delete the new PHP -Version -Folder   For some reason the last step did the trick for me  Even after a restart it did not have an effect before doing this

This is just describing why I had this issue in case someone finds it helpful   My problem was that I had upgraded php with homebrew and had forced at some point the variable PHP INI SCAN DIR in my profile or bashrc file so it was pointing to the old php version  Removed that line and fixed

In my case  with Windows Server 2008  I had to change the PATH variable  The former version of PHP  VC9  was inside it    I have changed it with the newer version of PHP  VC11    After a restart of Apache  it was okay
