Requires ext-mbstring
Fix requires ext-mbstring * -> it is missing from your system – mbstring is a non-default extension. This means it is off by default. You must explicitly enable the module with configuration options. To find out more about mbstring, you can read the article of mbstring.
mbstring is a non-default php extension. This extension is not enabled by default.
The following configuration options are related to the mbstring module.
–enable-mbstring: Enables the mbstring function. This option is required to use the mbstring function.
–disable-mbregex: Disable regular expression functions with multibyte character support.
Some conditions even mbstring is not installed on linux, therefore, we have to do this installation manually. For example, what I have experienced is as in the following:
- codeigniter4/framework v4.1.5 requires ext-mbstring * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's mbstring extension.
- phpunit/phpunit 9.5.11 requires ext-mbstring * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's mbstring extension.Install mbstring Ubuntu
To do this installation, make sure the PHP version you are using.
For example I use PHP 8.0 version. Therefore, the command I use is:
sudo apt install php8.0-mbstringWait for the installation to finish. If the installation is correct, you can see results like this:
neon@NEON:~/Documents/KERJA/BLOG/CHIPPIKO/CODEIGNITER 4/multiple_input_form$ sudo apt install php8.0-mbstring
