title: When installing just PHP on Windows, all php extensions are commented out by default?
body: <p>I'm trying to get Laravel installed and when running composer I get lots of errors along the lines of <code>the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system</code> except there are dozens. It's really tiring going one by one and uncommenting these. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to just install apache(edit: I meant XAMPP) and its default <code>php.ini</code> will have better default options?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get a .ini file that has the most common stuff available? Can I just uncomment all extensions or is there a reason that's a bad idea?</p>
