PHP 7.4.33 missing extension "intl"

  • 1.  PHP 7.4.33 missing extension "intl"

    Posted Fri January 06, 2023 03:00 AM
    When installing a Mediawiki (v1.39.1) on AIX 7.2.5.3 ("oslevel -s" says "7200-05-03-2148") i installed the following components

    - PHP 7.4.33
    - MariaDB 10.4.26
    - Apache 2.4.53

    but ran into an error: on its start configuration screen Mediawiki complained about the PHP extension "intl" (internationalization functions) to be missing. Looking up the PHP documentation (PHP: intl - Manual) I found that I would have to recompile PHP to activate it.

    Is there a way this extension could be activated in the Toolbox version? Or, alternatively, may i ask for the reason why this is not compiled in at all?

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for reporting this.

    I think there was never a need from anyone or no one asked for this PHP extension and hence it was never included.

    As PHP comes with many extension and providing all of these is not feasible for us.

    But we take this request and will see in future versions of PHP if we can deliver this extension.

     

    Thanks,
