I receive this error after trying to set up LAMP by following this tutorial, and I find myself receiving the above error after trying to set up phpmyadmin.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in
C:\WebServer\Apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc
on line 177
I followed the advice over here: PHP Fatal error when trying to access phpmyadmin mb_detect_encoding, and made those changes.
When I run phpinfo(), I see that support for MySQL and mb_string are enabled as shown below:
Install the gd library also.
check this link
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php
There's a much easier way than recompiling PHP. Just yum install the required mbstring library:
Example: How to install PHP mbstring on CentOS 6.2
yum --enablerepo=remi install php-mbstring
Oh, and don't forget to restart apache afterward.
Mbstring is a non-default extension. This means it is not enabled by default. You must explicitly enable the module with the configure option.
In case your php version is 7.2:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart
In case your php version is 7.0:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart
In case your php version is 5.6:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart
On Windows open the file php.ini and make this changes:
Remove the comment and point to the ext directory
; extension_dir = "./" -> extension_dir = "C:/Php/ext"
Remove the comment of this extensions
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Restart apache service
httpd -k restart
When I opened my php.ini file, "extension_dir" line looked like following :
extension_dir = "C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.16/ext/"
which i changed to:
extension_dir = "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\ext\"
and it worked.
Under Windows / WAMP there doesn't seem to be any php_mbstring.dll dependencies on the GD2 extension, the MySQL extensions, nor on external dlls/libs:
deplister.exe ext\php_mbstring.dll
php5ts.dll,OK
MSVCR110.dll,OK
KERNEL32.dll,OK
deplister.exe ext\php_gd2.dll
php5ts.dll,OK
USER32.dll,OK
GDI32.dll,OK
KERNEL32.dll,OK
MSVCR110.dll,OK
Whatever php_mbstring already needs, it's built-in (statically compiled right into the DLL).
Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding()
This error is also very specific and deterministic...
The function mb_detect_encoding() didn't fail because php_gd, php_mysql, php_mysqli, or another extension was not loaded; it simply was NOT found.
I'm guessing that all the answers that are reported as valid (for Windows / WAMP), that say to load other extensions, to change php.ini extension_dir paths (if this one was wrong to begin with, NO extensions would load), etc, work more due to a) un-commenting the extension = php_mbstring.dll line, or b) restarting Apache or the computer (for changes to take effect).
On Windows, most of the time the problem is that php_mbstring.dll is either:
Blocked by Windows. Unblock it by right-clicking it, check Properties.
Or PHP can't load php_mbstring.dll due to another version getting loaded (e.g., from some improper PHP DLLs install into C:\Windows\system32), some version mismatch, missing run-time DLLs, etc. Check Apache's and PHP's error log files first for clues.
More in-depth answer here: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding
For fedora/centos/redhat:
yum install php-mbstring
Then restart apache
you should use only english version of phpmyadmin if you are using all languages you should enable all languages mbstring in php.in file.....just search for mbstring in php.in
The problem could also be that Apache can't find php.ini
If you set PHPIniDir incorrectly.
Mine was set to: PHPIniDir "c:/php7"
But, the folder is actually just "php"
The clue was viewing phpinfo()
Which showed:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\windows
I had the same problem with Ubuntu 17, Ispconfig was not processing the operations queued of any kind and also the server.sh command was not working.
I checked and the running PHP version after the OS upgrade was 7.1 so the solution was to type:
apt-get install php7.1-mbstring
and now is everything ok
Hope this helps some ppl, I got this error when i added the path and extension to "docref_root" "docref_ext" in my php.ini file, I then commented it out and it was ok, but cant get my help to work now.
In case your php version is 7.2:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart
PHP.INI XAMP5.6 > In my case, while updating max_ values, I removed
; max_input_time
Default Value: -1 (Unlimited)
After undoing everything works normally.
; max_input_time
; Default Value: -1 (Unlimited)
pdo is working fine with mysql but with pgsql its giving error 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver' I've installed php5-pgsql package which also includes pdo_pgsql
http://packages.debian.org/sid/php5-pgsql
This package provides a module for PostgreSQL database connections directly from PHP scripts. It also includes the pdo_pgsql module for use with the PHP Data Object extension.
my dsn is pgsql:dbname=DB;host=192.168.0.2
I am using Ubuntu 10.04
This message means you need to install and or activate postgresql extension in PHP
This solution works for me :
To install postgresql extension
[sudo] apt-get install php-pgsql
after, for activating it, uncomment pgsql and pdo-pgsql extensions in etc/php/$PHP_VERSION/apache2/php.ini file
Finally, type :
[sudo] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
To restart apache server if you use apache such as was my case...
1) Have you enabled pgsql.so in php.ini (extension=pgsql.so)?
2) Is you Postgresql listenin on 192.168.0.2 interface? (You can check it by netstat -tpln)
3) How you authenticate your access into Postgresql?
Make sure you've uncommented the line that tells php where the Postgres driver is (usually extension=pgsql.so) in the main php.ini file.
I had the same issue. First of all - check is it enabled in php.ini. Uncomment extension=php_pdo_pgsql...
than set up extension directory!!
extension_dir = "ext" ; for your case it could be other dir.
and do not forget to restart server after changing the config.
Try to remove semicolon in front of
extension=pgsql
extension=pgsql.so
included in your php.ini file
You can do that from the XAMPP Control Panel.
Here is what I did to solve the problem.
Edit php.ini and remove ; from extension=pdo_pgsql. Also, add extension=pgsql.so to the php.ini file.
Make sure to restart the Apache server before you try to see the result.
I had the same problem with another solution. I lost my around 4 hours to solve this problem. Please check the following to solve this problem.
Check php.ini file and remove semicolon from this line
extension=pgsql
extension=pdo_pgsql
Restart your apache2 server
sudo service apache2 restart
Check if your PDO driver has updated in localhost phpinfo()
I did All the things right and still I had this problem. And you know why? Because I had several versions of php installed. So I was running php7.4 in my php cli but localhost was running on php7.2. So always check your php versions.
Check your php version on localhost and terminal cli
When you do not have postgresql installed on the same machine that is Apache and PHP; you have to install php-pgsql and don't have to add extensions in php.ini manually in Linux (in Windows yes), because redundancies are generated and this does not work (checked in error.log).
$ sudo apt install php-pgsql
Then you can check the existence of the extension enabled automatically in:
$ sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/10-pdo.ini
Observations: In phpinfo() you will find the directory conf.d/ and the file error.log
GL
Just run php --ini and look for Loaded Configuration File in output for the location of php.ini used by your CLI
then check you have enabled the extensions correctly.
Copy libpq.dll from the PHP directory to Apache24\bin (or wherever your installation could be).
Whenever I try to enter my phpMyAdmin, it gives me this error:
The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
I've looked all over the Internet for a fix, but all I've found is errors similar to mine, but not the same, or the exact same but there was no fix given.
I am also using Windows.
In Centos I have installed a php extension.
I did this with:
yum install php-mbstring
Before sometime I also had the same problem. I have tried replacing the .dll file but no result. After some debugging I found the solution.
I had this in my php.ini file:
extension_dir = "ext"
And I'm getting mbstring extension missing error. So I tried putting the full path for the extension directory and it works for me. like:
extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"
Hope this will help.
Cheers,
check your php.ini file in the root directory of your php installation. In the extensions part of the configuration you should find:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
remove the leading ';' to uncomment and enable the extension so it looks like this:
extension=php_mbstring.dll
restart your apache and it should work.
Edit: I just read that you are already using a webhost. Does your webhost have a interface where you can set php variables etc? Or a .ini file you can edit?
If not you may are forced to talk to the webhost and ask them to enable that particular extension.
My case was like this
Strangely, I noticed that the php.ini file that WAMP was using wasn't
the one in the php directory, but rather was referencing a php.ini
file in the bin directory... I copied my php.ini file to
wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin directory, restarted the wamp
services and PHPMyadmin was off and running...
Thanks I solved the problem
In Ubuntu Server I have installed a php extension.
I did this with:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
Another reason for this problem is Php version. When I changed the running PHP version to 7.0.0, problem has gone.
Ubuntu 15.10
1) sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
uncommited extension=php_mbstring.dll
2) sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring
3) restart apache2
install mbstring and restart your apache:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo service apache restart
then remove ; from your php.ini file:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
to
extension=php_mbstring.dll
If it still doesn't work..remove your php setup, without removing the databases from your phpmyadmin. Reinstall it.
NB: * if you want to remove all, all mention the one you need to.
sudo apt-get remove php*
Then install the php and modules of the php version that you need. here, php 7.1:
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-cli php7.1-common libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-fpm php7.1-curl php7.1-gd php7.1-bz2 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-json php7.1-tidy php7.1-mbstring php-redis php-memcached
restart your apache and check the php version.
sudo service apache restart
php -v
when all this is done, execute the following command to enable mbstring forcefully and restart your apache.
sudo phpenmod mbstring
sudo service apache restart
Hope it helps.
It did to me :)
I've solved my problem by this way:
Edit the php.ini file:
change extension_dir = "ext" into extension_dir = "D:\php\ext" （please write ur own full path for the extension directory）
change ;extension=php_mbstring.dll into extension=php_mbstring.dll （delete the ";"）
Then just save your php.ini file and copy it to ur Windows directory。(“C:\Windows“)
restart the apache server。
The above is my solution,Hope it will work for u.
Using xampp, this will work (php7 has been extracted to the xampp\php directory):
Make the following changes in the php.ini:
uncommend (remove the ;)
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
uncommend (remove the ;)
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
set the path to the extention Directory
extension_dir = "ext"
to the full path, for example:
extension_dir = "C:\xammp\php\ext"
Additional, change the xampp-settings in the httpd-xampp.conf:
change
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
to
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php7ts.dll"
change
LoadModule php5_module "C:/xampp/php/php5apache2_4.dll"
to
LoadModule php7_module "C:/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"
change all appearance (3 times) of
IfModule php5_module
to
IfModule php7_module
That's it.
I had this problem in the past with MAMP on a Windows machine.
Open MAMP start page and go to your current configuration of PHP (phpinfo).
Check the Configuration File (php.ini) PATH.
Mine was set to C:\Windows, where of course I had no PHP.ini file.
Either change the php.ini path to C:\MAMP\conf\php5.6.8 (or your php version conf path) or just copy php.ini to c:\windows.
after installing WAMP 3 with Apache 2.4.17 and php5.6.17 I tried to look at php.ini from wampserver (green icon in tray).
It wasn't finding it.
I copied php.ini from the php.5.6.15 directory to the apache2.4.17\bin\ directory
and phpmyadmin worked fine without missing mbstring
Solved it.
I tried all of the solutions above but it still did not work. I'm currently using WAMP to launch the mysql server. When I tried to open the "php.ini" file with the WAMP panel, it said that it did not exist and asked me to create a new "php.ini" in the location, "C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin". Once I created this new "php.ini" file, I located the existing "php.ini" file which was in the path "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15", and cloned it. I then pasted the clone in the previous path where it had asked me to create the "php.ini" file.
Hope this helped.
I just installed WAMP 3 on Windows 10 and had this issue.
I had to go to C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.0\ and copy the php.ini file to C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\
Then I restarted WAMP, and was finally able to access my phpMyAdmin file.
Note: this is probably not the correct way to do this because now there are 2 php.ini files. There is probably a setting in an Apache file that points to the php.ini file, but I haven't seen that yet. I will update this if I find it.
Strangely, I noticed that the php.ini file that WAMP was using wasn't the one in the php directory, but rather was referencing a php.ini file in the bin directory... I copied my php.ini file to wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin directory, restarted the wamp services and PHPMyadmin was off and running...
In newer versions of PHP, "extension_dir" is not initially enabled.
In php's directory try change extension of configuration file (php.ini-development - default value of this file). I changed it to php.ini and phpmyadmin has worked.
The program can't start because php_mbstring.dll is missing from your computer. Try to fix it.
i use appserver to localhost and my server: C:/AppServ/www/dvd2/variables.php
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) PHP/5.2.6
To solve this problem on Linux, you need to recompile your PHP with the --enable-mbstring flag.
You might get this error message if you've just installed the phpmyadmin package but haven't restarted apache yet; try restarting apache.
Please uncomment the following lines at php.ini
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_exif.dll ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
This will help to solve.
The version of phpadmin you have installed is not compatible with the version of apache. Install the compatible version and you should be fine
I recently updated from PHP 5.4.44 to PHP 5.6.12 on my Windows 8.1 OS and got this phpMyAdmin missing mbstring error message.
After trying the above suggestions, none of which worked for me, I discovered version 5.4.44 placed the DLL extensions in the PHP root directory whereas version 5.6.12 placed them in the PHP\ext subdirectory.
All very fine except unfortunately someone forgot to change the php.ini accordingly. So two possible solutions:
Copy the DLL extensions from the ext sub-directory into the PHP root directory, or
Edit the php.ini file to call all the DLL extensions from the ext sub-directory.
I chose the easier first and phpMyAdmin now works fine.
Depending on you OS, you might need to install additional packets, e.g. php5-mbstring in SLES Linux.
I check phpinfo() and look for this line:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows
And I copy php.ini from C:\xampp\php to the folder and it works for me.
I had the same problem, the above solutions are not worked for me.
What I did is uninstalled the wamp and logout the Skype and re-installed wamp.
Then It got worked. I think the port used by wamp and Skype is same.
Hope this input will help.
Cheers :)
my solution : Copy a shortcut from your php.ini from your php-directory to the apache-dir. This way you refere too 1 file on the correct place. This solved (at least in my case) the problem.
just copy the php.ini file from C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin to C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin and then again restart apache server..
it will work fine.
My solution:
I had wamp x32 installed before, needed to remove and then installed the x64, receiving the same message "The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.".
On php.ini, all references to wamp, such as extension_dir = were pointing to "C:/Program Files/Wamp/...". Check all paths, the correct for me is "C:/Wamp64/". Restart services and it's all right now.
The installation process adds the phpMyAdmin Apache configuration file into the /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ directory, where it is read automatically. The only thing you need to do is explicitly enable the mbstring PHP extension, Because sometimes you forgot to enable the mbstring mode so simply type the below command to enabled the mbstring mode...
sudo phpenmod mbstring
Afterward, restart Apache for your changes to be recognized:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
I receive this error after trying to set up LAMP by following this tutorial, and I find myself receiving the above error after trying to set up phpmyadmin.

When trying to go the the site, I get this error, I think it's likely the two errors are related:
Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysqli' is not available.
First error is caused by php because the extension mbstring is either not installed or not active.
The second error is output of phpMyAdmin/your site asking you to install / enable the mysqli extension.
To enable mbstring and mysqli edit your php.ini and add/uncomment the two lines with mbstring.so and mysqli.so on unix or mbstring.dll and mysqli.dll on windows
Unix /etc/(phpX/)php.ini
extension=mysqli.so
extension=mbstring.so
Windows PHP installation folder\etc\php.ini
extension=mysqli.dll
extension=mbstring.dll
Don't forget to restart your webserver after this.
EDIT:
User added he was using redhat in the comments so here's how you install extensions on all CentOS/Fedora/RedHat/Yum based linux distros
sudo yum install php-mysqli
sudo yum install php-mbstring
restart your werbserver
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
you can verify your installation with a little php script in your document root.
This lists all settings, versions and active extensions you've installed for php
test.php
<?php
phpinfo();
After reading about the extension_dir = "ext" i added the line to php.ini but didnt work, then started to look apache error log and saw the PHP was in fact unable to find the dll's in the specified directory "ext". I commented the extension_dir line, restarted Apache and looked the error log again, saw that PHP was now looking the dll's in C:/PHP/ext (by default i guess), but since im using other folders, that's not the correct path, so i uncommented the extension_dir line and wrote this:
extension_dir = "C:/Apache24/PHP/ext"
In my configuration that is the correct path to dll's.
and of course, uncommented:
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Restarted the Apache server and internet browser and now phpMyAdmin works with my mySQL login.
So, dll's incorrect path and dll's needed commented in php.ini were the problem.
Remember to restart Apache and internet browser after editing config files.

It looks like your PHP installation does not have the mbstring extension and the mysqli adapter extension installed.
Please check your phpinfo(); or run php -i | grep 'mbstring\|mysqli' in a terminal.
I had the same problem on my windows7- 32 bit:
1."PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /usr/share/php/gettext/gettext.inc on line 177"
when i opened my php.ini file , "extension_dir" line looked like following :
extension_dir = "C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.16/ext/"
which i changed to :
extension_dir = "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\ext\"
and it worked.
In php.ini, I had to change
extension_dir = "ext"
to
extension_dir = "C:/PHP/ext"
as my PHP was installed in C:\PHP. I had to use / instead of \, and then it worked.
Also uncomment mbstrings, mysqli and mysql extensions.
What helped me (using XAMPP on Windows) was to:
make sure that my path included the correct path for PHP (I had two PHP
installations, one under c:\php and the XAMPP installation in
c:\xampp\php which was the one I wanted to use)
check that the lines
extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext" extension=php_mbstring.dll extension=php_exif.dll ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it were uncommented in the php.ini file (i.e. no ; at the beginning)
restart the Apache server
last but not least, clear the cache when reloading the page http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ (for instance with Ctrl-F5 in Chrome)
Recompile PHP with mbstring.
./configure --enable-http --with-apxs2 --with-mysql --with-gd
--with-curl --with-mbstring
make
make install
My guess would be to check that the mysqli extension is enabled in your PHP configuration. More info would be great (eg. OS, AMP stack, etc.).
Check in your php.ini configuration for mysqli and make sure there is no ';' in front of the extension. The one enabled on my setup is php_mysqli_libmysql.dll.
Try to install mysqli and pdo.
Put it in terminal:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd
I tried on Windows and I was getting same issue after enabling this in PHP installation folder\etc\php.ini:
extension=mysqli.dll
extension=mbstring.dl
You should also enable the following in the ini file:
extension_dir = "ext"
phpMyadmin is working now!
In windows 2008 Server.

Some versions of windows do not come with libmysql.dll which is necessary to load the mysql and mysqli extensions. Check if it is available in C:/Windows/System32 (windows 7, 32 bits). If not, you can download it DLL-files.com and install it under C:/Windows/System32.
If this persists, check your apache log files and resort to a solution above which responds to the error logged by your server.
One options is:
disabled this extension_dir = "ext"
and the other is:
go to wamp icon and see php and the click on php error logs then from error log u can find exact error.
this error occurs only if paths are not properly set.
I had the same trouble, this is what worked for me.
You can click at the wampserver icon, then at the PHP error log.
Check if it says this:
Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_ldap.dll'
If yes, then you can reload your version of PHP, by clicking at the wampserver icon, then PHP, then version, and then you click at your version.
Wait for everything to be online again, then try to access phpmyadmin.
