Php-intl installation on XAMPP

Question

I need to use the extension intl on my mac with XAMPP.

So I have followed this links:

Php-intl installation on XAMPP for Mac Lion 10.8

http://lvarayut.blogspot.it/2013/09/installing-intl-extension-in-xampp.html

I restart always my apache server but isn't installed the extension. Because if I launch:

php -m | grep intl #should return 'intl'

return empty

The command that I can't launch without it is for composer and cakephp like this:

composer create-project --prefer-dist -s dev cakephp/app cakephp3

Return me this error:

Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for cakephp/cakephp 3.0.*-dev -> satisfiable by cakephp/cakephp[3.0.x-dev].
    - cakephp/cakephp 3.0.x-dev requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
  Problem 2
    - cakephp/cakephp 3.0.x-dev requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
    - cakephp/bake dev-master requires cakephp/cakephp 3.0.x-dev -> satisfiable by cakephp/cakephp[3.0.x-dev].
    - Installation request for cakephp/bake dev-master -> satisfiable by cakephp/bake[dev-master].

So I need to solve the problem of ext-intl with the extension intl.

Can someone help me with this problem? How can I install this extension?

Thanks

Answer 1

These below steps helped me, Just in case if you are using OSX

Steps from http://www.phpzce.com/blog/view/15/installing-intl-package-on-your-mac-with-xampp

1. Check which php path is set ie

   root$: which php

2. If you are using xampp on your mac it should be

   /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php

   but if its

   /usr/bin/php

   you need to change your OSx php

    root$: PATH="/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:${PATH}"

3. Install icu4c

    root$: brew install icu4c

4. Install Intl via PECL

    root$: sudo pecl update-channels root$: sudo pecl install intl

5. You can check if Intl was installed successfully

   root$: php -m | grep intl #should return 'intl'

Done

============================

Note:

• From extensions list in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini file Add / Uncomment extension=intl.so line. And restart Apache. Thanks @pazhyn

• Before installing "intl" you have to install Autoconf if you have not installed it. Thanks @Digant

  • via Homebrew brew install autoconf automake or

  • by running below commands

    curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz tar xzf autoconf-latest.tar.gz cd autoconf-* ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install cd .. rm -r autoconf-*

I had issues with intl when using Moodle, which I fixed by doing the following:

1. Re-run the XAMPP installer ( if you don't have the installer on hand, download it from here ) and tick the "XAMPP Developer Files"
2. Use your terminal and go into XAMPP's binary folder $ cd /Applications/XAMPP/bin

3. Use PHP's package manager to install intl by running $ sudo ./pecl install intl This should compile some things, and if successful, the installation should complete with:

    Build process completed successfully Installing '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/intl.so' install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/intl-3.0.0 configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location You should add "extension=intl.so" to php.ini

4. $ cd ../etc There you will have your php.ini to which you have to add extension=intl.so On my system I appended the line after line 959, which you can find by searching for php_intl
5. Finally restart your Apache web server from the XAMPP GUI.

Hope this works for you!

I had the same problem with XAMPP. I tried several answers but without success. Could solve lowering an alternative library http://php-osx.liip.ch/ . This library php, comes already installed intl and several other package. After downloading went to httpd.conf in xampp and LoadModule php5_module pointed to these packages in /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so

The above solutions don't work for PHP 7.4 as after I run the

sudo pecl install intl

then I get this error:

n file included from 
fatal error: 'php.h' file not found
#include <php.h>
     ^~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [php_intl.lo] Error 1
