Intl extension is missing ( downloading FOSUSER Bundle)

I m trying to download the FOSUSERBundle , when I execute this cmd :

php composer.phar require friendsofsymfony/user-bundle '~2.0@dev'

it gaves me this error :

 - symfony/icu v1.2.2 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
    - symfony/icu v1.2.2 requires lib-icu >=4.4 -> the requested linked library icu has the wrong version installed or is missing from your system, make sure to have the extension providing it.
    - Installation request for symfony/icu == 1.2.2.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/icu[v1.2.2].

Trying to solve this problem :

1 - I edited /etc/php.ini by uncommenting this line : extension=php_intl.dll 2- I downloaded the last stable version of php curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 5.6 the problem still here ,and when I execute php -i the first line is :

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/php_intl.dll' - dlopen(/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/php_intl.dll, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0
phpinfo()

Is there any thing that I can do to solve this problem ? or to downoald FOSUSERBundle Syfony without this ?

Solution

  • There is a good guide in the Intl Component docs about why you get this error and how to solve it.

    You need to install php_intl on your system. Check out this guide for Mac OSX. Make sure you install the correct version of the symfony/icu afterwards:

    • 1.0.*: when the intl extension is not available
    • 1.1.*: when intl is compiled with ICU 3.8 or higher
    • 1.2.*: when intl is compiled with ICU 4.4 or higher

    This has been a problem for many symfony2 users over the past years. Basically there is a Symfony2 implementation of the php_intl extension that will replace the module in near future. Check out this blog post for further details. Because the change is very significant it will be also merged into the 2.3 and 2.5 branches of Symfony2 as well as the master / 2.6 version. It has not been tagged yet but should come available soon.

    Edit: as of October 24, 2014 the new versions are tagged and this issue should be gone forever!
