Thread: Enabling Multibyte in postgresql / drupal Mac OS X Leopard stack

Enabling Multibyte in postgresql / drupal Mac OS X Leopard stack

From
jeroen@madmemelabs.com
Date:
I recently downloaded and installed postgresql and drupal and
mediawiki for Mac OS Leopard, using the stack from postgresql.org.

It is very cool!

However, the drupal admin states that php multibyte strings (mbstring)
is not enabled.
I tried following the instructions on various searches, without success.

If any one has been able to enable php mbstring on Mac OS Leopard php
for drupal / mediawiki, using postgresql as their dbs, please let me
know.

Any information would be much appreciated.

thanks

Hi Jerone,

I am running a MAC Leopard 10.5.5. Installed is the entropy php /
postgresql package. I just added the following lines to one of the vhost
container:

php_value mbstring.func_overload 7

After restarting apache and calling mb_get_info(), I recieve this result:

Array
(
     [internal_encoding] => ISO-8859-1
     [http_input] =>
     [http_output] => pass
     [func_overload] => 7
     [func_overload_list] => Array
         (
             [mail] => mb_send_mail
             [strlen] => mb_strlen
             [strpos] => mb_strpos
             [strrpos] => mb_strrpos
             [stripos] => mb_stripos
             [strripos] => mb_strripos
             [strstr] => mb_strstr
             [strrchr] => mb_strrchr
             [stristr] => mb_stristr
             [substr] => mb_substr
             [strtolower] => mb_strtolower
             [strtoupper] => mb_strtoupper
             [substr_count] => mb_substr_count
             [ereg] => mb_ereg
             [eregi] => mb_eregi
             [ereg_replace] => mb_ereg_replace
             [eregi_replace] => mb_eregi_replace
             [split] => mb_split
         )

     [mail_charset] => UTF-8
     [mail_header_encoding] => BASE64
     [mail_body_encoding] => BASE64
     [illegal_chars] => 0
     [encoding_translation] => Off
     [language] => neutral
     [detect_order] => Array
         (
             [0] => ASCII
             [1] => UTF-8
         )

     [substitute_character] => 63
     [strict_detection] => Off
)

Means, it works.

I don't think that your problem is a drupal /mediawiki with postgresql
problem, but an apache php problem.

Do you have a mbstring entry when you call phpinfo() ?

Again, I don't know if that helps. It's just a hint that it works on my MAC.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Jeron,

I am running Leopard 10.5.5. with the entropy php package. I don't know
if that helps, but I just added the following line to a vhost container
for apache:

php_value mbstring.func_overload 7

It was just a random test, but it works without problems. I don't think
that your problem is a specific problem concerning drupal / mediawiki
with postgresql. I think this is a php apache problem (if it is a problem).

Again, don't know if that helps anyway. But it's a hint, that it works
for me.

Cheers

Andy

mb* functions are something that are either there or not, it's not an
extension you can install later on for php.

To get it, you have to recompile php.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php

You can see if it's enabled at all by creating a phpinfo page and
viewing it in your browser and search for 'multibyte'. If it's not
there, you don't have it and you have to recompile php.
