Question

How can I install intl PHP extension in PHP 7.1.7, which is delivered with osx high sierra?

So I had the exact same issue. As noted by other folks commenting here, High Sierra comes with PHP 7.1 installed and this PHP version has intl compiled with it

In my case, I followed part of Neodork comment's in the following Valet+ issue:

"Install" PHP 7.1 (so it comes from brew itself, not the one installed by High Sierra)

brew install php@7.1

Upgrade it to latest version

brew upgrade php@7.1

Symlinks for references in Cellar:

brew link --overwrite --force php@7.1

Change PHP path in my bash profile

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Reload your bash profile (you can close the terminal and open it again)

. ~/.bash_profile

Check for Intl

php -m | grep intl

Note: If you come across with warnings like:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/opt/php71-intl/intl.so'

Then you have to disable the previous intl:

mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/ext-intl.ini /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/ext-intl.ini.disabled

Hope it helps!

brew link --overwrite --force php@7.1 // Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.1/7.1.25... // Error: Could not symlink sbin/php-fpm // /usr/local/sbin is not writable. – Nathan J.B. Jan 14 '19 at 20:18
@NathanJ.Brauer that's a good one. Seems people have been having issues with that also. Check if the directory exists. If an `ls -la /usr/local/sbin/` pops something, then check for the permissions for it. Otherwise, you'll have to create it and adjust the right permissions with something like `sudo mkdir /usr/local/sbin && sudo chown -R \`whoami\`:admin /usr/local/sbin` The information was extracted from here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4527 – MadHatter365 Jan 14 '19 at 22:57

@NathanJ.Brauer I got the same error. I exported the new path anyway, opened a new terminal and `which php` pointed to `/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/bin/php`. Check if it works for you – DerpyNerd Feb 19 '19 at 13:23

For those of you similarly brewtarded as I am, the referenced 7.1 above should be updated to reference your required version. As of right now, Brew fails to find a 7.1 reference, because 7.4 is the one I needed. Double check your needed version before you proceed, unlike my last hour... ;) – Spookytheboy Feb 04 '20 at 19:58
Thanks mate. Been looking for this since 3hrs now. – Aditya Apr 07 '20 at 12:09
I had the same issue - `Error: Could not symlink sbin/php-fpm // /usr/local/sbin is not writable`. I did `sudo mkdir /usr/local/sbin && sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/sbin` and then need to source .bash_profile or open another terminal to see the correct php install path. – NKM Feb 21 '22 at 06:42

After the integration from brew/php to brew/core, the intl extension is included by the default installation. I also had the same problem the intl extension wasn't working. The problem I had was the command-line environment was not using the installed version of PHP but the default version from macOS system.

To enable the installed version, you need to do this:

After brew install php@7.1

You need to link the installed PHP version by brew link php@7.1

Then you need to OPEN A NEW TERMINAL to make it effective.
Then double check the PHP binary path, which php

make sure it's /usr/local/bin/php instead of /usr/bin/php

Then check if the intl extension is enabled, php -m | grep intl

It works for me.

i tried many solutions for now but this one works for me thanks alot. — Dev_meno, Apr 28 '19 at 14:31

open a terminal then type:

brew search intl

you should be able to see php71-intl, then run

brew install homebrew/php/php71-intl

then restart apache

sudo apachectl restart

then type:

php -i | grep intl

you should be able to see something like this:

Additional .ini files parsed => /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/ext-intl.ini
intl
intl.default_locale => no value => no value
intl.error_level => 0 => 0
intl.use_exceptions => 0 => 0

Enjoy!

The homebrew/php tab has been deprecated as of April 1st, 2018. The new way PHP and its extensions are delivered now is... a mess. Some extensions are bundled, some aren't. – sebastien.b Apr 02 '18 at 21:50

When I `brew search php71-intl` I get `no formula found for php71-intl` and then I get list of closed PRs. I can't find a way to install the intl package with homebrew. I have the `homebrew/php` and `homebrew/core` taps even though the php tap is deprecated. If I try to `brew install php71-intl` I get errors saying formula not available, not found and not found in taps – doublea Apr 05 '18 at 03:44

The person who deprecated php tap is a full ***. Everything broke after latest sierra update and brew upgrade. If you deprecate something in favor of something else, CHECK if that something else even works... If someone managed to get intl up and running again, please reply. I tried install through pecl but that just throws even more errors. – Sam Apr 06 '18 at 09:27

php-intl is now bundled with the php formulae in Homebrew. Simply uninstall your current php version and reinstall the homebrew/core php : `brew install php71 --with-pear` – Greg Apr 13 '18 at 13:41

`$ brew uninstall php71` and then `brew install php71 --with-pear` – miguelr Apr 24 '18 at 09:47

php has moved to `homebrew/core`. The formula is renamed to `php@7.1`. It includes `intl` *by default*, there is no need to load or install the extension manually. – webmaster777 Apr 27 '18 at 12:49

@miguelr Its working but im getting bunch of warnings about `PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/opt/php71-intl/intl.so' - dlopen(/usr/local/opt/php71-intl/intl.so, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.60.dylib`. Any idea? – Caio May 16 '18 at 18:07

I'm running the brew 1.6.2, on OS High Sierra. The intl extension is not available in brew packages so far.

The @Mondy solution worked fine for me. After run the

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1

The packages will be available in /usr/local/php5 or /usr/local/php5-7.0.27-20180201-135220.

So in your /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php.ini you can place the following lines to enable the intl extension:

[intl]
extension="/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/intl.so"

In my case I prefered to create a file 'ext-intl.ini' in /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/conf.d/, just for a better organization.

I was able to install on macox high sierra. but had issue with it first `PHP Warning: PHP Startup: intl: Unable to initialize module Module compiled with module API=20170718 PHP compiled with module API=20160303 These options need to match in Unknown on line 0 ` – Juliano Vargas Oct 03 '18 at 15:06
This worked for me! I used extension="/usr/local/php5-7.1.21-20180903-114446/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/intl.so". You will find the exact path in the output of the install. – ChrisB Nov 14 '18 at 09:22
This worked for me too, I just downloaded directly the needed file from `https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/php-osx.liip.ch/install/5.6-10.10/frontenddev/5.6-10.10-frontenddev-5.6.36-20180703-123509.tar.bz2` (which for php 5.6 in my case), and copied `intl.so` to `xamppfiles/lib` and updated `php.ini` with the corresponding link. – Ibrahim.H Nov 26 '19 at 18:13

try this on Mac

php -v
sudo port install php7*-intl

More information

You can find port packages by this page https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=intl

And you can install port through these steps: https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.html

curl -O https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.5.4.tar.bz2
tar xf MacPorts-2.5.4.tar.bz2
cd MacPorts-2.5.4/
./configure
make
sudo make install

And change ~/.bash_profile

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

If there is error, check following steps:

check port

sudo port list
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port search --name --glob 'php*'
sudo port install php**-intl

This page has more info about port usage: https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.html

Interesting concept, but the MacPorts project is an absolute mess, there isn't even a working version for macOs Catalina, which is over 1 year old now and installed on literally every mac in the world — Sliq, Sep 26 '20 at 23:17

In addition to what L. Grolleau says (run brew install php71-intl), paste the int.so path to the /php.ini at the end of the file:

extension=/usr/local/Cellar/php71-intl/7.1.11_20/intl.so

I find a solution.

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1

Then I copied intl.so from the installation to my extension directory, which is defined into my php.ini.

Can you go a little more into detail? Where is the intl.so located after executing the above command. – Andreas Daoutis Oct 17 '17 at 14:13

I have managed to work this out.

First uninstall any php packages you have completely with brew, then run the brew update and brew doctor commands.

Now install with brew install php@7.1 (changed the version as needed) intl is included in the build for all php-formulae.

To confirm it is working run php -m | grep intl. You will see the intl extension is included. If not check the php.ini file and make sure the extension is being loaded.

You will not need to check the php.ini, as the extension is built in. – webmaster777 Apr 27 '18 at 12:41

Remove the following file with

rm /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/ext-intl.ini

Worked for me, thanks to homebrew-core Issue

I installed php7.2 with brew and linked with that version on Mac, but cannot see even the version number 7.2 in phpinfo(). It always showed the last version(7.1) even though uninstall with brew, so the intl extension. I found we have to modify httpd.conf file(in my case in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf), in that file you can find the

LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so

in that line you have to override with your new php72 path: in my case it was

 LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.2/7.2.31_1/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so

And restart apache, it works fine.
