mbstring

[jensen]

Was trying to run grav here at x10hosting and the message comes back

'mbstring' extension is not loaded. This is required for Grav to run correctly
​

What should be done next? Is this something we need to load? Or some permissions that one may have wrongly set?

Is this something we need to load?

S/B to enable the [ mbstring ] extension
at [ cPanel-x3 theme ] ( not x10hosting Basic) home page --> [ Software and Services ] --> [ Select PHP Version ] - set a checkmark at [ mbstring ]
be sure to click on [ Save ]

BUT
when I run this script

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

if (function_exists('mbstring'))
  {
    print "Function mbstring is enabled<br>\n<br>\n";
  }
  else
    {
      print "Function mbstring is not enabled<br>\n<br>\n";
    }

if (extension_loaded('mbstring'))
  {
    print "Extension mbstring is loaded<br>\n<br>\n";
  }
  else
    {
      print "Extension mbstring is not loaded<br>\n<br>\n";
    }

?>

I receive --> "Function mbstring is not enabled" and "Extension mbstring is loaded"
###

from the PHP Manual --> "mbstring is a non-default extension. This means it is not enabled by default. You must explicitly enable the module with the configure option."

the Admins need to resolve your issue

That was most helpful. Thanks.
Didn't think about writing a script just to test it out. You're good.

Problem solved:

Went to PHP version and changed it to 5.6 then found the "mbstring" unchecked. So I checked it and the website in great shape again.
Thanks to admin for looking into the matter and for bdistler who helped out.
