I have ext-fileinfo but Composer says it is missing

Question

I\'m trying to install Laravel package Intervention Image and when I run composer update:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installa         


        

Answer 1

I have this exactly same problem. Fixed by going to wamp/bin folder, and searching for .ini. You will find several php.ini files.

Edit the extension=php_fileinfo.dll line in all of them removing the ; at the begging of each. Restart WAMP, enter php -m in the command-line to check if fileinfo is there now.

Should work.
