I installed Maatwebsite with Laravel 9 and PHP 8 using this command composer require maatwebsite/excel:* . Then I got this notice at the end of the installation:enter image description here

I then register it in the config/app.php and I run

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider" --tag=config

I got this: enter image description here

Here is my config/app.php

I tried to install Maatwebsite/Excel but wasn't working out for me, I was receiving error which I don't get the source.

  • "I tried to install Maatwebsite/Excel but wasn't working out for me" - what does that mean? As far as I see, there are only notices thrown at the end of the installation. Which version did you install in the end? `*` matches a lot of versions – Nico Haase Oct 26 '22 at 05:33
  • Pretty strange: I've checked some versions of `ExcelServiceProvider` on Github, but none contains 156 lines. Also, please share how the given problem is related to HTML or SQL – Nico Haase Oct 26 '22 at 05:36

Go to the php.ini file and remove ;

before

;extension=gd

after

extension=gd

execute the command to change your cache

composer require psr/simple-cache ^2.0

Then install maatwebsiteexcel

composer require maatwebsite/excel

  • Please add some explanation to your answer such that others can learn from it. Which parts of the question makes you think that gd is related? – Nico Haase Oct 26 '22 at 08:10
  • maatwebsiteexcel needs gd extension in order to be succesfully installed in your project, I have faced this problem before in my previous projects Laravel 9 with php 8 – dexterb Oct 26 '22 at 08:33
  • And what makes you think that the initial problem is related to that? If the gd extension was missing, requiring that package would have thrown an error message telling you that gd is missing – Nico Haase Oct 26 '22 at 08:36
