Composer update: The requested PHP extension ext-http missing

I am creating a php website using the symfony framework and composer.

  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • PHP version: 7.3.2
  • Symfony: 4.2.3 (env: dev, debug: true)
  • Composer: 1.8.4 (2019-02-11)

When I try to do compose update inside the projects folder or when I try to install a bundle using composer require symfony/swiftmailer-bundle I get the following error:

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

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

(It says 'Problem 1', but it is the only problem listed.)

I already looked for the extension in my php.ini file, but I can't find it. Do I need to install an extension manually? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • in my case i'm using ubuntu, hope this solve the problem.

    sudo apt install php-http
