From: peterkokot at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: master-Git-2017-10-08 (Git) Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Removing configure option --with-libmbfl Description: ------------ This page mentions the --with-libmbfl configure option: http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php The bundled libmbfl library for mbstring extension is not in sync with the upstream library located at https://github.com/moriyoshi/libmbfl. In the master PHP branch the bundled libmbfl library is now developed as a fork in the php-src directly instead: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2823 Therefore the configure option --with-libmbfl is not recommended to use anymore in PHP >= 7.3. So, best to remove the --with-libmbfl configure option: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75340 and update the documentation with a warning or completely removing the configure option for using an external libmbfl library. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75341&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75341&r=mysqlcfg
