title: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in windows
body: <p>I have the following error when try to install phpmyadmin in 4.0.4 on PHP version 5.4. I am running Apache 2.2 on My Windows 7. I can run  . My php is installed in c:\php. I have add the following line in php.ini but no lucks.
      extension=php_gd2.dll
      extension=php_mbstring.dll
      extension=php_exif.dll     </p>
  
  <p>And also this line in php.ini</p>
  
  <pre><code>--enable-mbstring=all
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\phpMyAdmin\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc on line 177</p>
  
  <p>I checked the phpinfo() page  but it does not show that mbstring is enabled. But I did 
  extension=php_mbstring.dll</p>
  
  <p>So why the mbstring is not started? 
  Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>what can I do to fix it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
