how to install phpmbstring to php54 folder

php_mbstring.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Most copies of PHP come with all the standard extensions.

Use phpinfo() to find out which php.ini to edit

Edit that php.ini and uncomment the mbstring extension:



You can uncomment other extensions whilst doing that, but should only uncomment extensions that you plan on using.

If you were using a PHP in conjunction with a web server (eg Apache) then you normally have to restart the web server service. With the PhpED PHP (which I don't use myself) I think it should pickup your changes when you restart your script.

If you use the PhpED PHP, bear in mind that installing newer versions of PhpED will ask you if you want to overwrite php.ini; if you do overwrite then you will have to edit php.ini again.

I uncomment from php54/php.ini

extension=php_mbstring.dll

and restart the server, and nusphere

and when I try to run php54/php.exe I still get same dialog box

I'm currently looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\NuSphere\PhpED\php54\extensions and mine has php_mbstring.dll sitting there.

Have you adjusted any other settings in php.ini, such as extension_dir?

I'm not sure if the PhpED PHP 5.4 keeps a log of any PHP startup issues.

If you are using php_exif then ensure that is loaded after php_mbstring

With mbstring enabled, have a look at a phpinfo() and ensure mbstring is listed.

Now mbstring works




How


I see mbstring.dll in
C:\Program Files (x86)\NuSphere\PhpED\php54\extensions

and in phpinfo() output
