Dependencies

Before using this package, you should have phpintl on your system.

PHPintl

Installing on Linux (Ubuntu) run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install php5-intl

You then need to restart Apache

sudo service apache2 restart

You can also check what extensions are compiled in by running:

php -m

Installing on Linux (Centos)

run the following commands:

sudo yum install libicu
sudo yum install libicu-devel.x86_64
sudo /usr/bin/pecl install intl

add “extension=intl.so” in your php.ini file.

You can also check what extensions are compiled in by running:

php -m

Installing on OSX

Using homebrew:

brew update

brew install icu4c

With PECL

sudo pecl update-channels

sudo pecl install intl

and add “extension=intl.so” in your php.ini file.

restart the apache.

if you found this error: Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.

The solution I came up with was to compile autoconf from source and set the environment variable which points to autoconf required by phpize.

Download autoconf curl http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz > autoconf.tar.gz

Untar the autoconf archive
tar -xvzf autoconf.tar.gz

Configure and make – note the folder un-archived may have a different name.

cd autoconf-2.69
./configure
sudo make && sudo make install

This installs autoconf to ‘/usr/local/bin/autoconf’. In order to get phpize to work set the PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable to point to the newly installed autoconf.

export PHP_AUTOCONF=/usr/local/bin/autoconf

Running phpize when attempting to compile a php extension should now work.

Installing on Windows

Wamp server

on wamp icon click on php -> php extensions -> php_intl then restart the server
