Install PHP Internationalization extension (Intl) on XAMPP on Mac

Question

How can I install Intl on my XAMPP server on OS X?

I tried modifying my XAMPP>etc>php.ini and uncommenting the line:

;extension=php_         


        

Answer 1

I failed on my XAMPP on Mac with:

$ brew install icu4c

, after which I've got message:

intl ICU version installed on your system is outdated (4.8.1.1) and does not match the ICU data bundled with Symfony (57.1)

I solved my problem by running command to download, unpack, compile and install ICU of required version (you can choose another version here http://site.icu-project.org/download if needed, file should ends with ...src.tgz):

$ curl -sS -o /tmp/icu.tar.gz -L http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/57.1/icu4c-57_1-src.tgz && tar -zxf /tmp/icu.tar.gz -C /tmp && cd /tmp/icu/source && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install

than run:

$ sudo pecl install intl

and specified where ICU libraries and headers can be found [DEFAULT] :

/usr/local

then edited 'php.ini' with extension=intl.so and reboot apache.

Checked result with:

\n";
    echo "ICU: " . INTL_ICU_VERSION . "
\n";
} else {
    die('OOPS! The intl extension is not enabled!');
}
