    It seems like like your installation is missing `mbstring` extension. You need to install/enable that. Can you run `phpinfo()` and see if it is actually loading? This might give you some help: http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/kb/article/how-to-enable-mbstring-in-php-46.html It might be as simple as enabling it, or you may need to download/install it first. If you're using *wamp*, click on the Tray Icon, go to `PHP -> PHP Extensions` and tick `php_mbstring` and see if that solves it. – Giedrius Jul 18 '17 at 23:03

  • i use xampp when i run the phpinfo() it says mbstring: enabled – user7326641 Jul 18 '17 at 23:23
  • Please check that your composer is using the same PHP version. Or try explicitly run composer with that php version (if you navigate to the `bin` folder where `php` executable sits and run `php ~/composer.phar` (or whereever your `composer.phar` file sits and then the rest of your command). It is also possible that you have multiple config files - try running `phpinfo()` in your command line terminal and see if extension is enabled. – Giedrius Jul 18 '17 at 23:30
  • im running win 10 as mentioned the phpinfo() wont be recognized. when im running the php ~/composer.phar inside the C:/php/bin it says could not open input file. – user7326641 Jul 18 '17 at 23:41
  • You will need run command `php` to go into php CLI, and then inside that you can run `phpinfo()`. It is not uncommon for CLI to have a separate config file. The default composer installation directory on Windows is `C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar`. So navigating to the php/bin folder and running such command should tell you the version: `php C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar -V` If that works, you can use the same to run your other composer commands. – Giedrius Jul 19 '17 at 00:00
  • when running the command: php C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetuo\composer.phar -V Im getting that: Composer version 1.4.2 – user7326641 Jul 19 '17 at 00:30

Congratulations!

Finally I found the solution.
I've uninstalled composer and i discovered i have 2 php configurations within my pc. I've deleted the configuration that located outside the xampp folder. Ive downloaded a new PHP extracted it into xampp folder (you need to change the php.ini-development file to: php.ini) then you have to find (ctrl+f): extension_dir and modify it to your path in my case C:/xampp/php/ext then installed composer, located the php.exe and then it said theres an issue with openssl so i modified within the php.ini file the relevant extension (simply remove the ;) now its working just great.

Thanks for the help
