Then run the command below to allow the 'composer' command to be run globally (this will be run from within the folder where you've just installed composer in which a composer.phar file has just been created):

I wanted to try out the Laravel 4.1 but unfortunately got stuck at the very beginning. When i try to install it using composer as mentioned in the Laravel 4.1 documentation, i get the following error while running "composer create-project laravel/laravel laravelProject --prefer-dist":

download composer xampp

or simply follow the below step:Forcing composer to use https connections to PackagistBeen having problems with composer from behind a company firewall. The firewall was blocking us from accessing a particular package.json file from the website

However, I have, after much trial and error and research, found a workaround. It's not a particularly graceful workaround but it takes advantage of the fact that composer does not recursively resolve repository locations and only takes commands from the main project's composer.json configuration.

I realised when reading the documentation on the composer github site that you could disable the default packagist configuration. In addition, of course you can add your own repositories to the composer.json in your project.

I had the same problem. When I wanted to install composer with XAMPP give me an error with a variable PHPRC was not correct and also I had a problem with the variable "extension_dir =". I solved like this:

Removed xampp altogether, cleared composer cache and installed wamp this time and created project for nette sandbox. This worked fine. In all fairness xampp would have worked as well had I installed it with av disabled and PATH variables properly updated.

On Xampp I have composer, but at my hoster I have a package without composer;
so I installed Drupal 10 with their installer.
When 10.1 came out I asked them how to upgrade it and they referred me to this Drupal instruction:
Updating Drupal core manually Updating Drupal Drupal Wiki guide on Drupal.org

Now I would like to ask you:
1. Does anyone know why a settings change does not work on a localhost Xampp ? and
2. Would you recommend me in the future to upgrade a site on my own laptop and Xampp with composer and then upload it,
or to upgrade it online described in the very first link in this article and then download it to my localhost?

I'm using XAMPP to install Magento locall, i've created db, download files etc but when i go to localhost/mystore i get the followinf error

Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\zendframework\zend-stdlib\src\ArrayObject.php on line 426 in C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\magento\framework\App\ErrorHandler.php:61 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\composer\ClassLoader.php(444): Magento\Framework\App\ErrorHandler->handler(2, '"continue" targ...', 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs...', 426, Array) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\composer\ClassLoader.php(444): include() #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\composer\ClassLoader.php(322): Composer\Autoload\includeFile('C:\\xampp\\htdocs...') #3 [internal function]: Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader->loadClass('Zend\\Stdlib\\Arr...') #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\zendframework\zend-stdlib\src\Parameters.php(29): spl_autoload_call('Zend\\Stdlib\\Arr...') #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\zendframework\zend-http\src\PhpEnvironment\Request.php(67): Zend\Stdlib\Parameters->__construct(Array) #6 C:\xamp in C:\xampp\htdocs\mystore\vendor\zendframework\zend-servicemanager\src\ServiceManager.php on line 941

Windows user here too. As mentioned composer will download into the current folder you are at with the command prompt. Composer doesn't care what web server you are using, and it shouldn't. Here is what I do on XAMPP when creating a new L4 app. Open a command prompt.

The first command navigates to my default web server folder. The second will create the subfolder c:\xampp\htdocs\new-app-name with the laravel framework structure. The third command changes to the new subfolder. The fourth command will download the remaining 3rd party framework packages.

By adding the path to the composer.phar file to the Environment PATH variable, you ensure that Composer is available system-wide, which means that you can run Composer commands from any directory in the command prompt or terminal.

So I have installed composer on my linux machine fine and I can use it globally with XAMPP. My question is each time I create a project should I just create a new composer.json file within the root of that project? I found this explanation that says that, however I am still a little confused whether or not to create a new file for each project that I do.

Correct, that is how you would do it. Composer.json would be at the root of each project folder, as each project will have it's own set of dependencies. I would not upload the composer.lock file, and I would not commit the composer.lock file. Composer.lock is an auto-generated file that composer will make when it looks at composer.json.

Composer.json tells composer what to download, composer.lock tells composer which version it currently has. Its a way to keep track of what it has currently installed. So each computer that runs composer would generate it's own composer.lock file, so there is no benefit of committing or uploaded any auto-generated files.

So, let's say that at this point I have both XAMPP and Composer installed in my new VM. If, at this point, I go run a composer require on my D9 project, Composer will very quickly, in non-ambiguous terms, let me know that the version of PHP I'm running globally is incompatible with whatever I'm doing in D9. Composer's smart... in a sense; it's just not smart enough to know that my project isn't actually dependent on the global PHP version.

You can find the line of PHP in the composer.phar file (a.k.a /usr/local/bin/phar) which overrides the native php.ini memory limit, but unless you'd like to reinstall composer and begin the module install from scratch, there's a much easier way--rerun the above install as a PHP command; we can add the option -d to define an INI entry bumping the memory limit to 2G. Check it out; if we run:

Success! Here, of course, the php command needs a file path after the -d option--so, we just feed it the path to Composer. This method of running Composer with inline PHP options may be something you bump into frequently. Again, you can either up the memory limit by running composer with PHP's -d option, or you could go find your php.ini file make an official change--I don't think there's a down side to that, really. Just make sure you edit the right php.ini if you have more than one. As I noted above, if you're running your server with XAMPP, you'll want to be sure that the XAMPP php.ini file is the one composer is using.

Hello, I have recently purchase a new mac running monterey and commenced setting up my local installation of XAMPP for Mac (running php 8.1.6). Followed the instructions per the website and XAMPP has been installed successfully. The local server and all that works. The issue / concern resides when trying to run either php and or composer update commands via terminal. If i try to run any php command and or composer update command eg. php composer update or php test.php i receive the following error -

I am finding this very strange since i have installed php via the XAMPP package. Additionally, should i go directly to the htdocs folder and run the same file "test.php" it works fine. Or if i update composer dependencies within the development IDE in this case PhpStorm it all works fine.

When the Composer gets installed on your machine, open command (cmd) windows, type composer and press Enter key. If it displays a list of commands, that means Composer is successfully installed on your computer.

You can install Composer at any directory where you want. In our case, we are installing at C:\xampp\htdocs\composersetup directory. Open your command (cmd) terminal and go to the directory location you want to install (C:\xampp\htdocs\composersetup).

This installer script just checks the php.ini settings. If settings are set incorrectly, it will warn you and start downloading the latest composer.phar in the current directory (C:\xampp\htdocs\composersetup). If the installation gets successful, you will see a message of successfully installed.

This installer script will simply check some php.ini settings, warn you if they are set incorrectly, and then download the latest composer.phar in the current directory. The 4 lines above will, in order:

By default the installer and composer self-update will download the latest stable version only. You may select a different download channel though.
If you would like to help test pre-release versions you can use the --preview flag on either the installer or self-update.
For snapshot builds, which are done from the latest Composer commit, you can use the --snapshot flag.
To programmatically install specific major versions you can use the --1 or --2 flag. To select the latest 2.2 LTS you can use --2.2.

Hi this might be not a real problem.
the composer.json of the base distribution declares this line:
"post-create-project-cmd": "./flow welcome",
this should be just a convenient feature - eg it helps you to get started.
It could be that its not working if you dont have ./flow in your current working directory because youre using xammp.

Now we will verify if Composer was successfully installed by opening Windows Command Promp and type composer . If the command prompt screen returns this outcome > Composer was installed properly

Now, to use phpmyadmin, you will also need to enter the new password. To make phpmyadmin automatically login with your new password, go to C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php and insert your new password here
