How do I enable php_extension intl?

V2.7-0

O/S Windows 7 Ultimate

in admin/environment.php message reads 'php-extensionintl should be installed and enabled for best results'.  The extension is there in the directory; I don't see a method of enabling in properties; opening with Notepad reveals what appears to be machine code and I would not know where to start on that.

How do I enable?

Also under opache.enable the message reads 'PHP setting should be changed'.  I have not attempted that action, deciding to leave it until I sorted enabling intl.  Can I include it in this post or should I open a new discussion.

Find your php.ini file. Find the extensions bit. Uncomment the line for the intl extension. Save and restart the server.

Howard,

I removed the ; from the intl line and saved, closed the server and restarted - no change.  What am I doing wrong?

There are two (most likely) possibilities...

1. You got the wrong php.ini - or it's in a place that the software isn't reading it. If you can get to the command line, just run 'php --ini' which will tell you were it is.

2. Did you definitely restart? Reboot the entire machine if in doubt.

Maybe that is a windows thing but ; sign does not normally uncomment a line - it is normally the // at the beginning of the line.

In php.ini it's definitely a ';' sign. 

We're not talking about PHP here remember...

Not only right, but also wise!  As a wife, I am never wrong - unfortunately as a Moodler, my record is not quite so perfect!

Make sure the php_intl.dll file is actually in the \ext folder inside the PHP folder (e.g. 'C:\PHP\ext\' if your PHP path is 'C:\PHP')

Then make sure that the php_intl.dll file is the correct version for:

  • your version of PHP. If you've got PHP v5.5 then you need the equivalent 5.5 version of php_intl.dll.
  • the thread safety of your PHP version. If you are using the non-thread-safe version of PHP then you need the non-thread-safe version of the php_intl.dll file.

Also, adding your PHP directory to the Windows PATH environment variable may help. Appended ;C:\php (or whatever your PHP path is) to the Path variable in the Windows Environment Variables dialog.
