The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset

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 mesage appears when mbstring extension is not enabled or installed. This library is necessary for phpMyAdmin.

  • Install the mbstring extension.
  • Open php.ini file.
  • In php.ini commented lines appear in this form:

;extension=php_mbstring.dll
Uncomment the line by simply deleting the semicolon or just add the below line if it does not exist:

extension=php_mbstring.dll
