I get this error.

The procedure entry php_mb_check_encoding_list could not be located in the dynamic link library php_mbstring.dll

The error is related to the php.ini settings, I think.. It finds it difficult to locate the extension I suspect, I put an environment path to the php.exe and its extensions folder, but when I run the command line and call php.exe, that error is being thrown.

I use windows. I have got this set in my php.ini.

; On windows:

extension_dir = "C:\xampp\php\ext"

I installed xampp.. the php version is the latest.. Another thing which is weird is when I try to print out: phpinfo..nothing is being printed out

<?php
   echo phpinfo();
?>

nothing comes out?!?!

The question is why and how can I prevent it from being thrown..
