The php sources throwing this error is (from http://php5.sourcesdb.com/r.php?num=1960) if (_tran_cs == mbfl_no_encoding_invalid) { php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Unsupported charset \"%s\" - will be regarded as ascii", charset); _tran_cs = mbfl_no_encoding_ascii; } It seems that the mb_string-extension does not strip away the quotations on "utf-8". Then, since "\"utf-8\"" != "utf-8" the script endocing is not considered valid. But I cannot see where it gets the idea from that the chosen encoding is "utf-8" with quotation marks... In php.in all I've got is mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8 (without quation as one can see) Do you have any new light to shed over the subject? Cheers, Fredrik
