Fix for 'Install or enable PHP's fileinfo extension' Error in Windows
Trying to require Laravel Sail for existing Laravel projects and applications you may hit the 'Install or enable PHP's fileinfo extension' error in the command line.
Here's a quick fix for it.
I was running the command:
composer require laravel/sail --dev
I edited the php.ini file
And inserted the line:
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
I ran the command again, it worked.
Remember - it's never too late!
Cheers,
Steve
