how can I enable PHP Extension intl?

Question

I am going to install Magento2 at my local server and it gives me following error notice.

I am using XAMPP. When I tried to enable it from php.ini file it throws another error for missing dll:

The program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Any help?

Answer 1

First of all stop the xampp/wamp and then kindly remove the starting semicolon ( ; ) from your xampp/php/php.ini the following code.

;extension=php_intl.dll 

And then restart your xampp/wamp.

Answer 2

I wrote this post if anyone come across this question for PrestaShop, I don't know if it will work for Magento2. I solved enabling PHP extension intl for the PrestaShop installation by:

1. Open XAMPP Control Pane.
2. Stop the Apache server if it was started.
3. Then from Config button click on PHP (php.ini) item.

4. Php.ini will open in Notepad (or a default text editor), click Ctrl + F and search for ;extension=intl and remove the semicolon.

5. Then save and close Notepad and re-start the Apache server.

These steps for me solved the issue.

Note (2): I'm using XAMPP v3.2.3 and PrestaShop v1.7.5.1
