If you don't know how to enable php_mbstring extension in windows, open your php.ini and remove the semicolon before the extension:

change this

;extension=php_mbstring.dll

to this

extension=php_mbstring.dll

after modification, you need to reset your php server.

For Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring

Answer 5

mbstring is a "non-default" extension, that is not enabled by default ; see this page of the manual :

Installation

mbstring is a non-default extension. This means it is not enabled by default. You must explicitly enable the module with the configure option. See the Install section for details

So, you might have to enable that extension, modifying the php.ini file (and restarting Apache, so your modification is taken into account)

I don't use CentOS, but you may have to install the extension first, using something like this (see this page, for instance, which seems to give a solution) :

yum install php-mbstring

(The package name might be a bit different ; so, use yum search to get it :-) )

Answer 6

apt-get install php7.3-mbstring solved the issue on ubuntu, php version is php-fpm 7.3
