    Tried to create a database following the instructions on this page Installing Wamp Server but I get the following error

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc on line 177

    when browsing to

    https://localhost/phpmyadmin/

    Can anyone shed some light on how I fix this or should I just uninstall wamp and start over?

  • Hi,

    This error is caused by php because the extension mbstring is either not installed or not active.

    To enable mbstring, edit your php.ini and add/uncomment the line with mbstring.so on unix or mbstring.dll on windows

    Unix /etc/(phpX/)php.ini
    extension=mbstring.so

    Windows PHP installation folder\etc\php.ini
    extension=mbstring.dll

    Restart the Wamp server.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply. I do have mbstring enabled on the server but I uninstalled wamp and re-installed again without making the changes suggested in the thread I linked to above and everything is working fine now. I suppose one of the changes or more was the culprit. Thanks again for your reply.
