Does this answer your question? [How do I see the extensions loaded by PHP?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/478844/how-do-i-see-the-extensions-loaded-by-php) — N69S, Jun 01 '22 at 12:17
i found that fileinfo is already installed i don't now why it's not working ! — aymane, Jun 01 '22 at 12:29
Did you verify in your fpm installation too ? like do `dd(get_loaded_extensions());` in a controller and check for it. — N69S, Jun 01 '22 at 12:33

First you need to know where your configuration file is located using

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

on the sixth-ish line, you have Loaded Configuration File with the file path next to it.

uncomment/add the extension line in that file (dll for windows)

extension=php_fileinfo.dll

and restart your server.
