Coral 8.7.0 Breaks mbstring

[andyjh122]

Just upgraded from 8.6.6 to 8.7.0 and mbstring doesn't work. Says it's loaded ok in phpinfo, but i get this php error on first mbstring call.

 

Same apache and php configs as 8.6.6, haven't changed anything.

Thanks for your help!!

 

I love Uniform Server!

just replaced the php directory with 8.6.6 and it works, must be something in the php directory...

 

same config file in both cases...

I ran the following simple test script:

<?php
/* Set internal character encoding to UTF-8 */
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

/* Display current internal character encoding */
echo mb_internal_encoding();
?>

 

Correctly displays "UTF-8" on a default installation of 8.7.0

 

Note:

Replacing the PHP folder (from 8.6.6) although in your case resolves the problem it is masking the real issue because the PHP core is downgraded to 5.4.7

 

Test:

Perform the following:

Extract a new copy of 8.7.0

Switch PHP to use development ini

Start servers

Run the above script

 

Check errors reported and the Apache error log this may shed some light on the real problem.

 

All the best

thanks my fault.

 

it was php-win.exe and i thought it used php.ini, but i forgot i had to add mb_string to php-cli.ini

 

thanks for your help!
