  • In your xampp folder there should be a folder called `php` and inside of it should be a program called `php.exe`. Try running it to see if there are any problems with the dll you have added to the `php.ini` file. If you only get the interactive shell with no errors than you have included the .dll properly and you can verify it trough `phpinfo()` – Igor Ilic Mar 04 '20 at 12:51

    Did you restart the xampp server after adding extension=php_fileinfo.dll in php.ini ? – Sumit De Mar 04 '20 at 13:03
  • @SumitDe when i run `php.exe` i get "PHP Warning: Module 'fileinfo' already loaded in Unknown on line 0" error – Mahdi Nourbakhsh Mar 07 '20 at 07:39

Just go to your xampp php.ini and uncomment the line :

;extension=php_fileinfo.dll

to 

extension=php_fileinfo.dll

and dont forget to restart apache
