    php_mbstring.dll not found

    Hello everybody,

    I'm all new in the WAMP world. I installed PHP 5.2.5. Apache 2.2.8
    and Mysql 5 in windows XP professional.


    I installed all manually (I had no choice) and when I execute the
    httpd file, a message is shown: "This application has failed to start
    because php_mbstring.dl l was not found. Re-installing the application
    may fix this problem". It happens twice.


    Believe me, i reinstalled all day without success. I set up the
    environmental variable, the httpd.conf and nothing happen. I can
    see
    too in the task manager 2 process httpd. Is that normal???


    Any help, I’ll be thankful.

    Either install php_mbstring.dl l or remove (or comment out)
    extension=php_m bstring.dll from your php.ini file.

      I had the same problem this past weekend when I upgraded Apache, PHP and
      MySQL on another computer. I made the mistake of using the .msi package
      (Windows Installer) for PHP 5.2.5. Several necessary items were missing.
      After Googling for a solution, I went to php.net and downloaded the
      latest package (5.2.6) but made sure I grabbed the zip file. Once
      downloaded, I unzipped the package and moved php_mbstring.dl l (and a
      couple of others) to the ext folder. I had already added the missing
      extension=php_m bstring.dll to php.ini. Once I did that, it worked fine.

      If you prefer, just download the 5.2.6 zip file (make sure it's the zip
      file) and do a full install that way.
