[support] Turning off multibyte support?

[Mark Mcdonald]

php.ini is a global setting you probably don't have access to however
you should be able to edit the .htaccess file in your drupal directory.

 

To add a php.ini setting into the .htaccess file add a line like this:

 

php_flag setting value

 

For example in the php.ini file you might have a line like
"register_globals = off" which in a .htaccess file would look like
"php_flag register_globals off".

 

What you probably want to add is this:

 

php_flag mbstring.http_input auto

 

I'm not sure what the error you're getting means so you might need to
look up the correct value from somewhere else.

 

Good luck!

Mark

I just installed drupal 5.1 on a web hosting provider.  When I try to
run install.php, I get the error:

 

	Incompatible environment

	The following error must be resolved before you can continue the
installation process:

	Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be
disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting. Please refer to
the PHP mbstring documentation <http://www.php.net/mbstring>  for more
information. (Currently using Unicode library Error)

It is unclear what I'm supposed to do to fix this.  I don't see any
php.ini string anywhere in my site directory tree.  I'm assuming this is
some system global config file (which I don't have access to).
