Enabling Multibyte in postgresql / drupal Mac OS X Leopard stack

am 02.12.2008 20:26:12 von jeroen

I recently downloaded and installed postgresql and drupal and
mediawiki for Mac OS Leopard, using the stack from postgresql.org.

It is very cool!

However, the drupal admin states that php multibyte strings (mbstring)
is not enabled.
I tried following the instructions on various searches, without success.

If any one has been able to enable php mbstring on Mac OS Leopard php
for drupal / mediawiki, using postgresql as their dbs, please let me
know.

Any information would be much appreciated.

thanks

Hi Jeron,

I am running Leopard 10.5.5. with the entropy php package. I don't know
if that helps, but I just added the following line to a vhost container
for apache:

php_value mbstring.func_overload 7

It was just a random test, but it works without problems. I don't think
that your problem is a specific problem concerning drupal / mediawiki
with postgresql. I think this is a php apache problem (if it is a problem).

Again, don't know if that helps anyway. But it's a hint, that it works
for me.

Cheers

Andy

mb* functions are something that are either there or not, it's not an
extension you can install later on for php.

To get it, you have to recompile php.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php

You can see if it's enabled at all by creating a phpinfo page and
viewing it in your browser and search for 'multibyte'. If it's not
there, you don't have it and you have to recompile php.
