  1. phpoffice/phpspreadsheet v1.19.0 requires php: ^7.3 || ^8.0

    1. Check your installed PHP version by running this command php -v. Make sure it’s greater or equal to 7.3.

    2. Secondly, make sure that the PHP version declaration in the composer.json file is also greater or equal to 7.3. I.e:

            "php": "^7.3 || ^8.0",
    
    • If in case your application has dependencies that aren’t compatible with PHP version >= 7.3, you may want to install a lower version of phpspreadsheet i.e composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet "^1.8.0" (requires php: "^5.6|^7.0") instead of adjusting the PHP version in the file composer.json.
    1. In addition, if you’re using xampp, make sure these extensions are enabled in the file C:xamppphpphp.ini before attempting to install the library.
      extension=mbstring
      extension=fileinfo
      extension=gd
    • Enabling the above extensions means, they shouldn’t have semicolons (;) in front of them.

    Installation

    composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet "^1.19.0"

  2. What fixed it for me, was steven7mwesigwa 3rd point.

    In addition, if you're using xampp, make sure these extensions are enabled in the file C:xamppphpphp.ini before attempting to install the library.
    
    extension=mbstring
    
    extension=fileinfo
    
    extension=gd
    

    I removed the semicolon in front of the extension=gd, and it worked.
