mbstring

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. just run these command sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext sudo service

So far I have this solution, but invalid characters are removed, instead of being replaced by '?'. function replace_invalid_utf8($str) { return mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-8', 'UTF-8'); } echo mb_substitute_character()."\n"; echo replace_invalid_utf8('éééaaaàààeeé')."\n"; echo replace_invalid_utf8('eeeaaaaaaeeé')."\n"; Should output: 63 // ASCII code for '?' character ???aaa???eé // or ??aa??eé eeeaaaaaaeeé But currently outputs: 63 aaaee // removed invalid characters eeeaaaaaaeeé Any advice? Would you do it

How can I get the above functions to work again? Vladimir Korshunov I had the same problem. Just install php7.0-xml package. Ubuntu 16.04:

Apparently there's no mb_trim in the mb_* family , so I'm trying to implement one for my own. I recently found this regex in a comment in php.net : /(^\s+)|(\s+$)/u So, I'd implement it in the following way: function multibyte_trim($str) { if (!function_exists("mb_trim") || !extension_loaded("mbstring")) { return preg_replace("/(^\s+)|(\s+$)/u", "", $str); } else { return mb_trim($str); } } The regex seems correct to me, but I'm extremely noob with regular expressions. Will this effectively remove any Unicode space in the beginning/end of a string? deceze The standard trim function trims a
