PHP Fileinfo extension must be installed/enabled to use Intervention Image.

i changed my php.ini and i added yhis line : extension=php_fileinfo.dll , i restarted my server but the same probleme .

My php v7.0 and i use Laravel 5.3

when i installed the package intervention/image "composer require intervention/image " it installed correctly.

Laravel detected this error :

MissingDependencyException in ImageManager.php line 133: PHP Fileinfo extension must be installed/enabled to use Intervention Image.

Are you sure you edited the correct php.ini file?

trying creating a file to see which php.ini file is being used.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
