The requested PHP extension ext-iconv * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's iconv extension

I am trying to install Encore in my symfony application using this this command: 

composer require symfony/webpack-encore-bundle

i received this error: 

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - The requested PHP extension ext-iconv * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's iconv extension.


Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

I googled a little bit i found out that iconv extension is enabled by default and i had never issues with it so I dont know what to do. I am using arch linux and xampp.

Solution

  • php -i | grep php.ini

    then

    in your php.ini

    extension=iconv.so
