Hi, Vikas.
I am having the same problem, I removed the comment, eg:
;extension=php_gmp.dll
extension=php_intl.dll
;extension=php_imap.dll
;extension=php_interbase.dll
;extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_ming.dll
And getting this error: Problem 1
– cakephp/cakephp 3.8.2 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
– cakephp/cakephp 3.8.1 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
– cakephp/cakephp 3.8.0 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.
– Installation request for cakephp/cakephp 3.8.* -> satisfiable by cakephp/cakephp[3.8.0, 3.8.1, 3.8.2].
I am using XAMP 7.2.21 on Mac.
Notice (1024): Please change the value of ‘Security.salt’ in ROOT/config/app.php to a salt value specific to your application. [CORE\src\Error\Debugger.php, line 966]
This solved the intl file blocking problem for me:
sudo composer require “cakephp/cakephp:3.4.0-RC3” “aura/intl:^3.0.0”
