I was getting an error message when I accessed phpMyAdmin. The error was:
"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.
"
This error means that mbstring PHP extension is not enabled or installed. In my case it was not enabled.
To resolve this I had to enable it in my php.ini file. Open your php.ini file and un-comment these lines:
- extension=php_mbstring.dll
- extension=php_mysql.dll
- extension=php_mysqli.dll
Restart your Linux server and this error will go away.
