Thanks for getting back to me so quickly…
Some further research reveals that my build of PHP was not compiled with the –enable-mbstring option:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php
Here’s the fix that worked for me (CentOS Linux):
yum install php-mbstring
httpd -k restart
[NOTE from danbrown AT php DOT net: This is true for all Red Hat Linux-based distributions using RPM and the yum package manager; this includes RHEL, Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva, and Intrinsic Linux, among others.]
Hope this helps anyone else having the same issue!
Nick
