To install the PHP intl extension on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS with PHP 8.x, follow these steps:

Update your package repository and ensure necessary tools are installed:

sudo apt update

Install the PHP intl extension. Modern Ubuntu repositories include it by default, and it is often pre-installed on fresh LTS releases, so no third-party PPAs are required:

sudo apt install php-intl

The extension is enabled automatically by the package manager. You can verify the installation by running:

php -m | grep intl

Restart your web server to apply the changes. For Apache, run:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

For Nginx with PHP-FPM, check your active PHP version first:

php -v

Then restart the corresponding FPM service. The service name must match your exact installed PHP version (e.g., php8.3-fpm or php8.1-fpm instead of php8.2-fpm):

sudo systemctl restart php8.2-fpm

That's it! The PHP intl extension should now be installed and enabled on your system.
