Mbstring extension is missing on my PHP installation. How can I enable it?
Mbstring is a non default extension, which means it won’t enabled with the normal PHP installation by default. But you can enable this module by using the configure option along with the installation process. More about Mbstring module.
As of PHP 7.4.0, pkg-config is used to detect the libonig library. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, Oniguruma was bundled with mbstring, but it was possible to build against an already installed libonig by passing -with-onig=DIR. It is possible to disable the multibyte regex backtrack check by specifying. From terminal/console, go in PHP CLI mode and echo the command as below, $ php -a php echo extensionloaded('mbstring'); 1 It will return 1 if mbstring is loaded as an extension otherwise null.

In a WHM/cPanel server you can simply enable this module by using the EasyApache script. This is the inbuilt script used for rebuilding Apache and PHP on the server.
This can simply be done from the WHM panel or from the server CLI (Command Line Interface). I prefer server CLI for EasyApache. Here I’m explaining the steps to enable the PHP module Mbstring via EasyApache script.
Make sure you’ve verified the current Apache and PHP version before starting the EasyApache script. Make a copy of current Apache (/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf) and PHP (/usr/local/lib/php.ini) configuration files.
