Composer - extension iconv is missing

I'm running Manjaro linux and I have installed apache 2.4.10-1 with php 5.5.15-1 and php-composer 1.0.0.alpha8.458-1.

I want to download project with composer by this command

composer create-project nette/sandbox TaskManager

but I'm getting error with ext-iconv

- nette/neon v2.2.1 requires ext-iconv * -> the requested PHP extension iconv is missing from your system.
- nette/nette v2.2.0 requires ext-iconv * -> the requested PHP extension iconv is missing from your system.

But in my php.ini i have enabled iconv extension

extension=iconv.so
.
.
[iconv]
iconv.input_encoding = ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding = ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding = ISO-8859-1

In my php scripts I can use iconv function without any problem.

When I run php -m i see iconv in list with other modules

Any idea where could be problem?

Edit: When I run php -i from cli, I got this:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /etc/php/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed => (none)

And in this config file is iconv enabled.

Even when I run

php -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("UTF-8", "ASCII//TRANSLIT", "Žluťoučký kůň\n");'

it executes properly and prints "Zlutoucky kun".

Solution

  • So i found out, that composer uses different php config file, which is stored in 

    /usr/share/php-composer/php.ini

    there I just added following line

    extension=iconv.so

    And everything works!
