Php-intl installation on XAMPP

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

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 i.e.

   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!
