phpMyAdmin Error: The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration

Question

I have a problem running phpMyAdmin. When I try to access phpMyAdmin in my browser, I get the error message: "The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration."

I have already searched on the internet for possible solutions. According to that, I made some modifications in php.ini file. I uncommented the line ";extension=php_mbstring.dll" and wrote the full path of the ext folder in extension_dir. Sadly, it still doesn't work.

Could you please help me finding the proper solution.

Answer 2

I've solved my problem by this way: Edit the php.ini file:

1. change extension_dir = "ext" into extension_dir = "D:\php\ext" （please write ur own path）
2. change ;extension=php_mbstring.dll into extension=php_mbstring.dll （delete the ";"）
3. Then just save your php.ini file and copy it to ur Windows directory。(“C:\Windows“)
4. restart the apache server。

The above is my solution,Hope it will work for u.
