Where of course I'm expecting to see the phpMyAdmin login page. I get a fatal error message when I try localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php. I should note that I'm not using a package like XAMPP. I wanted the experience to install them without a package. I'm on a Windows 10 64-bit machine, I've installed Apache2.4 and MySQL 5.7.16.0, and I thought PHP 7.0.13.
Apache & MySQL services are started.
Yet I can go to localhost/index.php and output "Hello World" and phpinfo.php appears as expected, showing PHP is enabled.
The errors in phpMyAdmin/index.php look like:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in phpMyAdmin\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc:177
PMA_warnMissingExtension('mbstring', true) in phpMyAdmin\libraries\common.inc.php(102)
I'd appreciate any insight as to what I'm missing.
