Assuming you are using debian linux  I m using Linux mint 12  problem was on Ubuntu 12 04 1 LTS server I ssh ed into    I suggest taking  dkamins advice and making sure you have mcrypt installed and active on your php5 install   Use  sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt  to install   My notes below   Using PHP version PHP Version 5 3 10-1ubuntu3 4  if you open phpinfo   as suggested by  John Conde  which you do by creating test file on web server  e g  create status page testphp php with just the contents    anywhere accessible on the server via browser   I found no presence of enabled or disabled status on the status page when opened in browser   When I then opened the php ini file  mentioned by  Anthony Forloney  thinking to uncomment  extension php mcrypt dll to extension php mcrypt dll  I toggled that back and forth and restarted Apache  I m running Apache2 and you can restart in my setup with sudo  etc init d apache2 restart or when you are in that directory just sudo restart I believe   with change and without change but all no go   I took  dkamins advice and went to install the package with  sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt  and then restarted apache as above   Then my error was gone and my application worked fine

If you are using PHP 7 2 or up      This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 7 1 0  and REMOVED in PHP 7 2 0    source  http   php net manual en function mcrypt-encrypt php  So you have to replace the php code and find a solution without mcrypt   Or  I just found out  you can STILL use mcrypt in PHP 7 2 0  but you have to install it as a PHP Extension Community Library   https   pecl php net     On Debian Ubuntu Linux distros   sudo apt-get -y install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config sudo apt-get -y install php7 2-dev sudo apt-get -y install libmcrypt-dev   then   sudo pecl install mcrypt-1 0 1   Source  https   www techrepublic com article how-to-install-mcrypt-for-php-7-2
