recieving this message :Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /home/nursebibi/public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/tables/k2category.php on line 92

which reads : mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");



using joomla 2.5 clean install , everything looks great. Imported users,media but when I try to import doc or create a cat I get the fatal error

---

after doing some reading I believe mbstring was not enabled. so I turned it on.. is there anything else in this i need to enable to make it work or am I doing the wrong thing?
