Problems with lib-icu dependency when installing Symfony 2.3.x via Composer

Question

I\'ve had no problems installing Symfony 2.2.x using Composer, I\'ve always just copied the stable version at http://symfony.com/download.

composer create-pr         


        

Answer 1

A better solution is to fix your composer.json to the version required by the production server. First, determine the ICU version on the server: 1 2

$ php -i | grep ICU
ICU version => 4.2.1

Then fix the Icu component in your composer.json file to a matching version:

"require: {
    "symfony/icu": "1.1.*"
}

Set the version to "1.0." if the server does not have the intl extension installed; "1.1." if the server is compiled with ICU 4.2 or lower.

Finally, run

php composer.phar update symfony/icu

on your development machine, test extensively and deploy again. The installation of the dependencies will now succeed.
