I got the following error from one of my PHP functions (PHP verion 5.6)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding()

It is one of the mbstring package functions. So I checked in the phpinfo(). There is no "mbsting". I tried to install mbstring by using the following command in my CentOS 6.8 server.

yum install php56w-mbstring

But it returns:

No package php56w-mbstring available. Error: Nothing to do

I also tried: rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm Ref: https://serverfault.com/questions/732468/how-to-install-php56-on-centos-6-x86-64

I have also tried: Cannot install mbstring php conflict but still the same.

You should check your /etc/yum.conf Just remove 'php*'

  • After this, it returns: Package php56w-mbstring-5.6.25-1.w6.x86_64 is obsoleted by php-mbstring-5.6.25-1.el6.remi.x86_64 which is already installed. Nothing to do – Sadee Sep 06 '16 at 09:37

Same question I post over here: https://superuser.com/questions/1121176/installing-php-extension-mbstring-in-php-5-6-centos-6-8

All of these PHP configurations had done through EazyApache. There are some unusual changes because of installing/upgrades through EazyApache (rather installing/upgrades doing directly on the server). So have to follow EazyApache to install new modules. For how to install module through EazyApache, Ref: https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/enable-install-mbstring-module.158165/
