Magento 2 installing is simple ain’t it!
And if you are a novice for Magento 2, errors and warnings can be scary.
Today, I’ll post the solution for the error that says,
Fatal error: Class ‘Locale’ not found in C:xampp2htdocsmag236svendor/magento/framework/Locale/Bundle/DataBundle.php
You may face this error while installing Magento 2.3.5 or above versions using XAMPP.
The error occurs because Xampp does not include the php.ini file by default. The file resides in the root directory of Xampp.
Magento 2.3.5 and higher versions require “intl” extension so the only solution is to enable the extension from php.ini file.
Check the steps to avoid this error and install Magento 2 without any problem:
Solution for PHP Fatal Error Class ‘locale’ Not Found in Magento 2:
1. Open <php.ini> file and find the line ;extension=php_intl.dll or ;extension=intl.
2. Remove (;) from there and save the file.
3. Restart Xampp or Wamp server and refresh the installation page.
That’s it.
Similar error may occur in the newer versions of Magento 2 as the Zend Framework has been deprecated. Learn here to solve ‘main.CRITICAL: Error: Class Zend_Json not found’ in Magento 2.
