Hello,
I am trying to setup an Apache, MySql, PHP combination on windows 2008 r2 machine and have gotten to the part where I am trying to setup PhpMyAdmin when i get an error stating "Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in C:\...\...\gettext.inc on line 177" between google and this post: http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/42088-solved-scuttle-undefined-function/
It seemed likely to be that that the extension was commented out, so i verified the DLL was in the EXT directory and removed the comment for : extension=php_mbstring.dll
then restarted the apache service. I then attempted to load the setup/index.php for PhpMyAdmin again, but it resulted in the same error. When i run php.exe -m It lists mbstring in the PHP Modules, however if i run <?php
phpinfo();
?>
the resulting page lists NOTHING about mbstring...
I would greatly appreciate any help regarding this issue. These are the various components and/or important info... OS: Windows 2008 R2 w/SP1
Apache: 2.4.4 win32 w/ ssl 0.9.8
PHP: v5.4.16 Win32 VC90x86 threadsafe
MySql: 5.6.11.0 (presumably x86)
PhpMyAdmin: 4.0.3
