Rename/usr/local/bin/php to php. old, and soft link php/bin/php to mamp.

When laravel is installed, php-cli is called and installed using a PHP script.

I am using the brew global installation mode. You can try it.

Download the php5.4 source code and compile a mcrypt file by yourself. Why? It seems that google will find many answers

However, my practice is to ignore the system's php, homebrew re-installed a php5.5, here there are detailed tossing steps
