I am facing some issues in the installation of Cakephp. I hope any one had faced the same issue.

The error

- cakephp/cakephp 3.3.9 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.

As per the error message, I removed ; from php.ini file but still getting the same error.

I have Mac 10.12 Sierra, Xampp 5.6.28-1 version and PHP 5.6.24 version.

  • You can use MAMP... there it's included. Perhaps you can enable the intl extension in your php.ini? – René Höhle Feb 07 '17 at 08:43
  • Thank you for your reply. I will try MAMP however I enabled all intl extension in php ini file in Xampp. – Nishant Sethi Feb 07 '17 at 08:51

  1. Install the php5-intl extension brew install php56-intl
  2. If you get No available formula for php56-intl do brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
  3. Restart Apache sudo apachectl restart

    if we are using macOS HIgh Sierra version 10.13.6 the above steps will not run and give Error: homebrew/php was deprecated. This tap is now empty as all its formulae were migrated. – Pankaj Nov 23 '18 at 23:04
  • brew tap homebrew/homebrew-core – maudulus Feb 26 '21 at 04:47

intl is installed by default on php7.1 with brew.

If you already have php7.1, you might want to uninstall it first: 

brew uninstall php71

Then install it with pear:

brew install php71 --with-pear

Then force the links:

brew link php@7.1 --force

  • This solution worked great for me. I was getting errors about missing `ext-intl` with the default PHP that comes with High Sierra. I ran these three commands (which I've read people talk about before, replacing the default PHP). I now think that is a great idea. Doing so upgraded my PHP version from 7.1.16 to 7.1.23 and changed my config folder to `/usr/local/etc/php/7.1/php.ini`. After, `php --ini` is a helpful command to run. – agm1984 Oct 11 '18 at 21:52
  • It seems to create a weird scene in High Sierra if you start with a virgin Macbook and do `brew install nginx` and then setup your `nginx.conf` file. I swear that built-in PHP just doesn't work reliably and produces hard to trace symptoms. It was having trouble for me also trying to enable `extension=snappy` via `brew install snappy`. In my opinion, blow that garbage PHP off your machine and do the steps described in this answer by *pl-94*. – agm1984 Oct 11 '18 at 21:55

    The first warning sign is that `intl` comes with the built-in PHP and doesn't work. I installed `php71` from brew and didn't even have to manually enable `ext-intl`, it just worked. You could imagine how a person could get trolled when it comes with the built-in, giving you a false sense of confidence that it would work. – agm1984 Oct 11 '18 at 22:00

Try AMMPS. It has a lot great features and you can easily change PHP extensions:

1 Make sure remove # from your php.ini file:

$extension=ext/php_intl.dll

2 If you have already enabled intl,add the path to environment and restart

3 Install by brew .

$brew install icu4c 
$sudo pecl install 
$intl php -m | grep intl
