Php-intl installation on XAMPP

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!

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-*
