phpmyadmin error with sanitizing.lib.php

Question

I am having a problem getting phpmyadmin to work correctly on my desktop. Every time I try running phpmyadmin, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in C:\Apache24\htdocs\phpMyAdmin\libraries\sanitizing.lib.php on line 135

I was wondering if anyone has advise on how to make phpmyadmin work correctly. I have Apache v2.4.1.8, php v5.5.33, and phpMAdmin v4.6.0 installed and according to the tutorials I followed, everything works correctly until I get to the phpMyAdmin.

If you need any other info, I will reply what I can.

Answer 1

In addition to making sure extension=mbstring.dll is enabled, you should make sure the extension path is correct. By default, the extension path is set "/ext" in the php.ini file. However, when install httpd as a service, the relative path may be incorrect. So, you should edit the extension path to an absolute path, such as "C:\Program Files\PHP\v5.6.21\ext".

Answer 2

This is a permissions error.

You need to

• Go into php.ini file and make sure extension=mbstring.dll is enabled.

• Restart your webserver.

Answer 3

In the newest php versions the "extension_dir" path is not enabled initial. So maybe it helps... :)
