Как установить mbstring php 7 для windows

Whenever I try to access phpMyAdmin, I receive the following error:

«The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.«

I am running a LEMP stack on a CentOS 7 server. I have elected to use PHP 7 for this installation. I have not experienced this error on identical set-ups running earlier versions of PHP.

extension_loaded('mbstring') returns false even though mbstring.ini (/etc/php.d/) contains:

; Enable mbstring extension module
extension=mbstring.so

I am 100% sure that the mbstring module is installed on my server.

I’m completely stumped so if anyone has any ideas whatsoever, please let me know. Thanks.

I had this problem for a long time.
I found the correct way (for me) to correct it… and it’s fairly simple

Juste add «universe» on the xenial-updates

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
deb [arch=amd64] http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main
deb [arch=amd64] http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main universe
deb [arch=amd64] http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-proposed main
deb [arch=amd64] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main
deb [arch=amd64] http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main **universe**

run sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade before installing with sudo apt-get install php-mbstring.

I had the same problem today and found this way.

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.

It could happen after you update your php version, for instance if you upgrade from php5.6 to php7.1 you need to run these commands:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart

For php8.1

sudo apt-get install php8.1-mbstring
sudo systemctl restart nginx

If your destination version is different you need to check if the mbstring package exsit or not, an example for php7.0:

sudo apt-cache search php7.0-mbstring

I found it useful to first check existence of all modules that you working with, then performing an upgrade, in addition to that update phpmyadmin after upgrading your php is a good idea

Change extension_dir = "ext" to extension_dir = "C:/php/ext" in php.ini.

It could raise the concern if you’re either:

Case 1: Downgrading/ upgrading any PHP version.
Case 2: Enabling/Disabling (Switching) between PHP versions.

Here are some recommended commands I found helpful to fix these concerns:

Message 1: The mbstring extension is missing…….

sudo apt-get install php7.1-mbstring  

Message 2: The mysqli extension is missing…….

sudo apt-get install php7.1-mysqli

Note: Tested with PHP version 7.1. Change PHP version as per requirement.

I have solved my problem by this way:

1. Edit the c:phpphp.ini file:

2. change extension_dir = «ext» into extension_dir = «c:phpext» （please write
   ur own path）

3. change ;extension=php_mbstring.dll into extension=php_mbstring.dll （delete
   the «;»）
4. restart the apache server。

I Hope it will work for u.

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/html/phpmyadmin
service apache2 restart
