I have search all over the internet just to find a solution for this problem. I have php7.4 installed on my system. I have been struggling with the php-gd extension. I have been able to install the extension and yet when i try to run any php application that is using the extension, i get the error that, the extension is not installed. I removed it, install it and is still the same. i remove php7.4 itself and reinstall it but is still the same. After installing php8.0 and the extension with the same method, it works fine. please help. This is what i get in the terminal everytime i try to use a php app that requires php-gd.
Installing dependencies from lock file (including require-dev)
Verifying lock file contents can be installed on current platform.
Warning: The lock file is not up to date with the latest changes in composer.json. You may be getting outdated dependencies. It is recommended that you run `composer update` or `composer update <package name>`.
Your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages. Please run composer update.
Problem 1
- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet is locked to version 1.14.1 and an update of this package was not requested.
- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet 1.14.1 requires ext-gd * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's gd extension.
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
