Possible to disable intl requirement for Symfony?

I have a Symfony 2 project on a shared host. And apparently provider won't switch the Intl extension on for PHP. Is there a way to turn it on or am I forced to reevaluate the whole project?

Solution

  • If your web server doesn't provide the intl extension, you can use the Locale component.

    It can be easily installed with composer or using the Git repository.

    UPDATE

    The Locale component is deprecated since version 2.3 and will be removed in Symfony 3.0. You should use the Intl component instead (http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/intl.html).
