I am in the process of learning to install php Laravel and I get stuck here. p/s: I've learn php for awhile and now I am trying to create a project in Laravel.Please help.

https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/5323 might help. Those "garbage values" are actually the color codes that aren't being properly interpreted. — aynber, Mar 13 '17 at 14:43

Your terminal doesn't support ANSI color codes. Run with --no-ansi so that you see clean pure text output.

You can also add --no-ansi to the composer.bat file at

C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.bat

change the line to

php "%~dp0composer.phar" %* --no-ansi
