Internationalization(Intl) is a design process for a product(application) to make sure that the application accepts various languages without change to the source code of the application.
Maybe you installed an unbundled PHP version, then intl extension is not available there. But if you have the bundled PHP version, the extension might be there but not enabled.
Note:- For this solution, you have root access. If you don’t have root access ask your service provider to install/enable the PHP Intl extension.
Solution for Linux Server
Make sure the php_intl.so file exists within your PHP extensions directory, find the extensions directory by:
- Using phpinfo()
- Running this command:
php -r "echo ini_get('extension_dir');" - Note: Both options get the extension_dir right from the PHP runtime configuration.
If the file exists:

- Make sure the line “extension=php_intl.so” is existing and not commented.
- Restart the webserver (usually sudo service https restart).
- Check if the extension is enabled using phpinfo()
If the file doesn’t exist:
- Check your PHP version by running the “php -v” command.
