The mbstring PHP extension was not found

usafshah

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.dll 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?

Uncomment the mbstring related lines in php.ini and set them to the character set you need.
