After I did the upgrade i get this error. Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /home/elinkone/public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/tables/k2category.php on line 46

I have looked at the other posts on this subject. Changed my php.ini file restarted my server and I still get this error.

Please help.

I really want to use this great component.

Also The k2 style sheet is not being included.

I think this really should be pointed out PRIOR to upgrade. I've been running my own VPS for sometime, and this is the first time I've had a need for this module. I'm thinking there might be a number of hosting environments K2 will no longer work on... are you sure this is really needed?

Hi. Yes this is needed in order to handle multilingual URLs.

mbstring.http_input
mbstring.func_overload
mbstring.http_input
mbstring.http_output
mbstring.internal_encoding
mbstring.language
mbstring.substitute_character

thank u, it is working.

Yo tengo el mismo problema y nadie puede decirme que es o como se soluciona.
Mi servidor me confirmo que todo estaria activado correctamente y sigue sin funcionar, ya no se donde preguntar o con quien hablar. Incluso estoy pensando en cambiar de servidor.
En tal caso podrian decirme que servidor seria el que tengo que contratar para no tener este problema. Estoy tratando de desarrollar un proyecto ya probado en mi servidor local y no lo puedo hacer por este problema. Gracias

When I contacted my hosting company, GoDaddy, they informed me that I need to do that with an .htaccess file. I looked at the one I used for the SEF URLs and didn't see anything about Multi-byte support. This is way above my head. Any ideas on where to go to get an effective .htaccess file?

on my godaddy shared server account i had to rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess then add the following two lines.

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

This fixed the error for me.
