I downloaded PHPsnippet-information-phpinfo.php fromthe net
it shows a of of stuff but no reference to mbstring
at the end of the listing i see this too:
xml

XML Support => active
XML Namespace Support => active
libxml2 Version => 2.7.6

xmlreader

XMLReader => enabled

xmlwriter

XMLWriter => enabled

Additional Modules

Module Name

Looks to me like there are no modules being loaded at all
I'm starting to think this is a Mandriva bug and strongly
considering filing a bug report on it.
