"PHP Fileinfo extension must be installed/enabled to use Intervention Image." error

I'm getting this error "PHP Fileinfo extension must be installed/enabled to use Intervention Image." when I try out the Laravel example:

Route::get('/', function()
{
    $img = Image::make('foo.jpg')->resize(300, 200);

    return $img->response('jpg');
});

I've uncommented extension=php_fileinfo.dll in the php.ini file located in C:\MAMP\bin\php\php7.1.5 but that doesn't work. I restarted my PC and my MAMP after doing this. I'm hosting my website myself.

Solution

  • You have edited the wrong ini file.

    Check the loaded ini files section of phpinfo().

    UPDATE you edited an ini in the bin folder and not the conf. Editing the one in conf should fix your issue.
