mcrypt on centos 6

Hi all,
centos 6 after install phpmyadmin I see in phpmyadmin:

Code:

Impossibile caricare l'estensione mcrypt,<br />prego controllare la configurazione di PHP

as not possible charge mcrypt ext pls control php configuration...
I just see a lot of forum without my solution...
suggestions?
thx

Make sure that the EPEL repository is enabled on your system, then run

Code:

yum install php-mcrypt

and restart Apache.
