The mbstring is Missing - NGINX PHPMYADMIN PHP 7.0.23 CENTOS 7

Question

how can I fix this error, because I am using php7, and I cannot download this extension. php 7.0.23 Nginx Centos 7

Answer 1

I think in Centos just type:

Heed: use this only if you have installed php via official repository, otherwise ignore this step

yum install php-mbstring

---

However if you are installed or you are not using PHP via official repository, but adding via rpm or using Xampp or other kind of thing so it usually comes already installed so just enable in php.ini removing the ;, open php.ini and look for a line like this:

;extension=mbstring.so

And then removing the semicolon (;) should look like this:

extension=mbstring.so

After this restart Apache or Xampp or Wamp (or whatever type of installation you did), if you are Apache installed via repository type this in the terminal:

apachectl restart

Or:

/sbin/service httpd restart

If it is Xampp I think it will be something like (usually installed in /opt/lampp):

/opt/lampp/lampp stop
/opt/lampp/lampp start

Or maybe Restart (I don’t know if lampp has Restart):

/opt/lampp/lampp restart

Answer 2

Thank you very much for your reply. When installing yum install php-mbstring, it shows installation error, comflito with my php7.0.23 I’m using php-fpm, no centos. and in my php.ini you don’t have these options.
