composer: preg_match(): JIT compilation failed: no more memory

When I run this command:

 composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton my-project

I get the following output:

In my case, it works by specifying pcre.jit=0 in php.ini

If pcre.jit = 0 pcre.jit=0 pcre.jit = Off in php.ini, not worked, try this:

I solved this by disabling the PCRE jit compilation. I suppose you installed php 7.3 through homebrew. If so, create a zzz-myphp.ini in /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d with the following content:

; My php.ini settings
; Fix for PCRE "JIT compilation failed" error

pcre.jit=0

It looks like you set jit=0 in the php.ini of your webserver. Make sure to have it configured in the php.ini used inside the cli. Usually these are 2 different files

I have the same problem on my Mac. Here are my versions:

PHP 7.3.0 Composer 1.8.0 MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Setting pcre.jit = 0 worked for me but it should be working without it, or maybe indicated in composer documentation, so I’d say maybe we should keep this issue opened, is that OK for you @HoTKreeZy?

I’ll try upgrading my Mac later to see if everything is better afterwards.

Well… I just upgraded my mac to Mojave and tried again and it’s working now… So I can’t tell if your answer works but it will probably help someone else 😃 Thank you anyway, i’ll keep it aside 😃

Verify that you really have it set:

$ php -i | grep pcre.jit
pcre.jit => 0 => 0

It work for me by follow steps:

  1. Please open you Terminal and run php --ini
  2. Open file php.ini in the path “Loaded Configuration File: /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini” https://prnt.sc/p9tspy
  3. Find pcre.jit and change ;pcre.jit=1 to pcre.jit=0

if there is a line already exist like ;pcre.jit=0 remove the semicolon ; before the line. The line should look like pcre.jit=0
