Verrrrrrrry important note:
If you enable multi-byte strings for your installation of PHP, the extension loaded MUST be the
first extension in the list.
Apache, NOR PHP will generate any error messages or warning information in the error log or in
system logs about this.
This information needs to be included in the Readme or in the distributed INI files.
The recommended PHP ini's should place extension=php_mbstring.dll at the top of the list of
extensions.
I had completely forgotten about this when recently upgrading php on a test server; and almost set
out to re-install apache.
