Composer & PHP aliasing and Mcrypt errors

[Natetronn]

Hi,

This isn't an issue which is one of the package though, I did want to share it just the same.

I'm running MAMP Pro and have aliased PHP in my .profile to use a version which is included with MAMP Pro.

alias php='/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.23/bin/php'

I've also setup Composer globally. I've moved and renamed the composer.phar per the instructions on getcomposer.org etc.

alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer" (the php in the composer alias is chaining in the php alias above it for MAMP Pro)

I've updated your composer_command config path to point to the new location for composer but, it's not taking into account the aliasing of global composer rather, php aliasing.

With that said, I keep getting errors within your package when I run the install command with Laravel because it can't find the mcrypt extension.

Note: I installed mcrypt via homebrew but, without setting up PHP in a normal MAC OS X MAMP type setup, it's not working and why I'm aliasing to MAMP Pro's version instead.

I'm able to run composer install directly from terminal without errors so I know my setup is correct and it seems to make sense as to why it's not working from your package.

With that said, and as a nice to have within this package, having an option for setting a command to run with composer_command would be amazing!

For example:

{
    "composer_command": "php ",
    "composer_path": "/usr/local/bin/composer"
}

or maybe just allowing for:

{
    "composer_command": "php /usr/local/bin/composer"
}

Thanks!

use this "composer_command": "/usr/local/Cellar/composer/1.0.0-alpha9/libexec/composer.phar",

I'm taking it this assumes Composer is installed via Homebrew? (In my case it's currently not though, maybe I could adjust.)

its better to install composer globally with brew which make it much easier to execute it from anywhere.
