The mbstring PHP extension was not found

i'm using phpmyadmin on Fedora core 6, everything seems to be fine but the only thing is when i open phpmyadmin at the bottom it says like

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.


i opened the file php.ini and found ;extension=php_ mbstring.dll and removed the semicolon, restarted apache but still didn't work. i guess this dll only related with windows apache, kaz i didn't find this file in linux.


any solution ?

Is php_mbstring.dl l in the correct directory as specified by your php.ini file?

Sorry, I forgot that you were using Fedora.

Could you post the mbstring related section of your php.ini file for us?

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
