errors with Locale and intl

[darkogav]

Hi, we have an application that works fine on php 7.4 and php 8.3 on other development platforms. I am working on getting it to work on mac os with homebrew using the shivammathur brew tap.

I keep getting the error

"Cannot declare class Locale, because the name is in use.. "

I checked the extensions and modules in httpd and all are same as what is currently working on other platforms. but we keep getting this error and I suspect it's related to intl extension. or maybe another extension.

Is there a correct way to disable and enabled the intl extensions? Editing the php.ini in/opt/hombrew/etc/php/8.3/php.ini and restarting httpd and php@8.3 services does not seem to have an effect.

@darkogav

intl extension is compiled with php statically, so you cannot disable that in Homebrew's php builds.

I would suggest namespacing your classes to avoid this.
