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!

Subject: [support] Turning off multibyte support?
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 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).
