[FIXED] Class 'NumberFormatter' not found in Laravel 5.4

Issue

I'm trying to use PHP's intl extension to convert amount into words. For example,

1450 -> One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty

I'm using Laravel 5.4 that runs on XAMPP 3.2.2 server with PHP 5.6.24.

As mentioned in similar questions, I've already enabled the intl PHP extension by uncommenting the line as extension=ext/php_intl.dll in PHP.ini file and restarted my server after.

 $inWords = new \NumberFormatter('en', \NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT);
 echo $inWords->format(1450);

yields the error:

FatalErrorException: Class 'NumberFormatter' not found

I'm guessing this doesn't have anything to do with Laravel but PHP. Anyone know the solution to the problem? Thanks for your time.

Solution

You have to enable the extension in your php.ini by uncommenting the line

;extension=php_intl.dll
