WampServer

When I run phpmyadmin, I get this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc on line 177

I check this directory C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin, the php.ini is blank. Why it is blank? How can I solve this problem?


I can run other codes that is not using mysql. So I think the issue here is ony phpmyadmin.

I check php.ini at C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12 and extension=php_mbstring.dll is uncommented

How can I solve this problem?

phpmyadmin is now running. With phpinfo The Loaded Configuration File points to C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini. It should be pointing to \wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\phpForApache.ini right? How can I solve this issue?

As I told php.ini under bin\apache folder is blank(nothing you can see). So I copy pasted phpForApache.ini contents to php.ini of bin\apache\apache2.4.9.

Why there is phpForApache.ini and two other php.ini under php folder and apache folder?

No, it should be pointing to \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini
Part of the PHP switching feature will copy the \wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\phpForApache.ini to \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini.
Well actually in WAMPServer 2.5 it does not copy it, it creates a SYMLINK ( Junction ) called \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini that points to \wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\phpForApache.ini
When you look at it with explorer ( not ie ) it should have a ( type of SYMLINK )

On initial install the file \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini actually exists as a file i.e. a copy of \wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\phpForApache.ini

SOLUTION:
Using wampmanager icon menus do -

wampmanager -> Apache -> Version -> 2.4.9 ( click on the version number ) this will rebuild the SYMLINKS for this and other files in \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin
