Phpmyadmin configuration problem

Hi there,

I’ve uploaded phpmyadmin to my web space and have the following error on the initial page:

“The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.”

After uploading the mysql database site and setting up the php related aspect of my website I am getting an error when I try to access the database online (via the website). It’s not accepting my username and password when I know it’s right (tested it on other servers).

Is the above error causing the above problem?

Either way, how to I remove the above error? I don’t have the ability to modify the php.ini file but would the following be the answer?

Just uncomment (remove the semicolon at the beginning) this line in
php.ini file:

extension=php_mbstring.dll

That should do the trick. Multibyte string extension is not enabled by
default and if you want to manipulate strings in multibyte character
sets (like UTF-8) you need to use the mb_* functions – and they’re only
available if mbstring extension is enabled.

Thank you for any assistance provided.
