As near as i can tell i have these:
/etc/php-cgi-fcgi.ini
/etc/php.ini
/etc/php.ini.ccpbackup

grepping i find:

rep mbstring /etc/php.ini
extension=mbstring.so
[mbstring]

mbstring.language = English

and for the other ini file:

I dont have phpinfo on my system.
I do have these tho:
php php-cgi php-config php-fcgi phpize

yes, i checked using the "file" cmd and php, php-cgi and lighttpd are
all x86_64 executables as is mbstring.so so no conflict there

Well generally in Mandrive there are ini files located in
/etc/php.d/, each file has a one liner "extension=mbstring.so" (as an
example
the actual mbstring.so file is in /usr/lib64/php/extensions/

My guess at this point is that the vesion of php they distribute has
no ability to load modules at run time.
I cant find any info that shows any of the modules being dynamically
loaded. Its possible however that some ini option has dynamic loading
turned off
