The mbstring PHP extension was not found... using iis

I use win 2000, php 4.4.2, phpmyadmin 2.8.0.3, iis 5.0, and mysql 5.0.

When I try to run http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php I get the error
messages:

---

The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a
multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable
to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library
'c:\php\ext\php _mbstring.dll' - The specified module could not be
found. in Unknown on line 0

---

The file c:\php\ext\php_ mbstring.dll exists. php ini has extension_dir
= "c:\php\ext \" and extension=php_m bstring.dll.

What am I doing wrong?

Jan Nordgreen

Hi Jan,

Should work...
Check for a few possible mistakes, like:
1) Are you edditing the right php.ini?
Call phpinfo() to see what php thinks the right php.ini is.
(Sounds stupid, but you wouldn't be the first or the last who
2) call phpinfo(), and check if PHP agrees that you loaded the module.
It SHOULD be named somewhere.
3) Is the ddl readable for the IUSR_<machinena me> ?

If that doesn't help, come back here.

Good luck.

Regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for your reply!

I was editing the right php.ini. I believe the problem was that I used
php_mbstring.dl l from php 5 and not 4.4.2.

I also copied libmysql.dll to c:\winnt\ from php-4.4.2-Win32.zip.

Now it works!

Regards,

Jan Nordgreen

Hi, I need to search a particular directory for all the files that do not have any extension and have a specific naming convension. The first 3 characters of the file name are alpha and the rest are numeric.

Hi, I am trying to get a small group of volunteers together to create Windows binaries for any Python extension developer that needs them, much like the package/extension builders who volunteer their time to create Linux RPMs. The main thing I need are people willing to test the binaries to make sure the extension is stable. This would require installing the binary and probably downloading the source too to get the developer's test
