If you want to have mbstring work on a LAMP server with yum (Fedora, Redhat, Centos) or apt-get (Ubuntu, Debian) then do this 1) As root from the CLI yum install php-mbstring or in the apt-get case apt-get install php-mbstring. For php7 on Centos do: 'yum install php70-mbstring' Then restart Apache. The mbstring extension is what php uses to parse different language encoding’s. This article will explain how to install the mbstring extension through shell. NOTE: cPanel has recently announced the deprecation of EasyApache 3 (EA3) and that the last version of cPanel to support EA3 is version 11.62. ME # yum install php-mbstring Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process Package php-mbstring-5.3.3-27.el65.x8664 already installed and latest version Nothing to do. From what i can see it is trying to install on 5.3 not 5.4. I am by no means a linux/php guru so please give.

The Mbstring is an extension of PHP and stands for multi-byte string functions. It is basically used to represent the non-ASCII strings. As there are many languages those can be represented by one to one mapping to an 8-bit value but also some languages those require more than 8-bit mapping, thus, they need the mbstring to encode multibyte characters and express more than 256 unique value or characters in the regular bytewise coding system. Mbstring is designed to handle Unicode-based encodings such as UTF-8 and UCS-2 and many single-byte encodings for convenience PHP Character Encoding Requirements.

If you are dealing with some web applications based on PHP that deals in the multibyte characters language then it will require the mbstring PHP extension. Here is the way to install or enable the mbstring PHP extension on a server with WHM/Cpanel.
