OK, some other questions. First of all, did you change the correct
php.ini file? This usually is more of a problem in Windows systems than
Unix ones, but it can still occur. phpinfo() will show you which ini
file is being used.
Also, are you using the 64 bit version of PHP? Is the version of
mbstring you installed the correct one for your version of PHP (I don't
know where you got either one). Also, what's in
/etc/php.d/29_mbstring.ini? Is this the file you're supposed to include?
ALso, I'm not familiar with Mandriva, but you should be asking them what
they requires for their package system to work.
