    Hey
    I am having an error come up when i try to install scuttle that uses the function : "mb_detect_encoding()"
    the error is :


    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /home/roundpic/public_html/includes/php-gettext/gettext.inc on line 101


    however according to php manual mb_detect_encoding() function is in php from php 4.0.5 and my hosting has php 5.0.*
    is there anyone i can fix this?
    thanks

    The multibyte string functions are not installed by default. PHP has to be compiled with -enable-mbstring for them to be available. If you can compile and run your own PHP install, that would be the way to go.
