    Compiling PHP with mbstring support

    I am working with a new support solution that seems to be doing well. However it is having an issue with checking a POP account for the emails. I contacted support and they state the following to fix it: "Please compile your PHP with mbstring" can anyone help me as I am not fimilar with this? It is on a Windows Based Server.

    Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles contain three words or less actually get FEWER responses?).

    Heya, nne1ssn. Welcome to TSDN!

    mbstring is short for 'multibyte string', which is very useful for handling text encodings. You should be able to install multibyte support from the php .msi installer.

    I don't remember exactly how to get there, but when you're running the installer, you should have the option to customize your installation. Click on that button, and then make sure the mbstring checkbox is checked before continuing.
