I need mbstring for something I'm doing. I've followed all the php.ini change directions to enable it and still when I do "php -m" the module is not there.
- The php_mbstring.dll file is in the ext folder
- I have two php.ini files, one for dev and prod
- in both I've remove the semi colon and enabled "extension = php_mbstring.dll"
- Also in both I've un commented all the settings under [mbstring]
Restarted my computer and nothing? Is there a way to add it in windows command like they have in linux with "sudo apt-get mbstring"?
Also note my ini files just had ";extension=mbstring" which I first uncommented in the ini's but that did not work so I tried adding the whole "extension = php_mbstring.dll" and as noted above this did not work.
Why??
php 8.2.3? May be depricated?
Replacing the Mbstring-provided conversion functions with the built-in dedicated functions avoids the deprecation notice, with the added benefit of the replacing functions being built-in to PHP core itself, without having to require the Mbstring extension. - https://php.watch/versions/8.2/mbstring-qprint-base64-uuencode-html-entities-deprecated#base64
