create_function deprecated in PHP 7.2 about mcrypt_compat HOT 6 CLOSED

That was fixed in phpseclib 2.0.7 (which was released last year):

phpseclib/phpseclib@f4b6a52

mcrypt_compat requires ~2.0. This means it requires phpseclib >=2.0 < 3.0.0. Maybe when you initially installed phpseclib the latest version was 2.0.6 or something but that is now no longer the case.

I think composer update should fix the issue for you.

Thanks! I'll test it.

I confirmed the README.md instructions to run composer require phpseclib/mcrypt_compat installs v1.0.4 of phpseclib.

Updating phpseclib/phpseclib to the latest one indeed fixes the issue. Thanks!

So should mcrypt_compat/composer.json:25 be "phpseclib/phpseclib": ">=2.0.7" ?

I just did composer require phpseclib/mcrypt_compat in a brand new directory and it installed 2.0.10 of phpseclib/phpseclib and 1.0.4 of phpseclib/mcrypt_compat for me:

phpseclib/phpseclib suggests installing ext-mcrypt (Install the Mcrypt extension in order to speed up a few other crypto
graphic operations.)

I don't see how 1.0.4 of phpseclib could be installed when composer.json says "phpseclib/phpseclib": "~2.0".

I had the master branch version. Where the composer file has:
"phpseclib/phpseclib": "dev-master"

Not sure how that happened, but it's safe to assume I just did something horribly wrong. Thanks for all your help. I'll close the ticket.

If you ever need to upgrade more create_function cases, Rector does it pretty well.
