I'm getting a error everytime i try to import the joomla content or create a category: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_regex_encoding() in htdocs/administrator/components/com_k2/tables/k2category.php on line 50mbstring is enabled so that cannot be the problem.Any work around to fix this bug?Thanks in advance

I am getting the same error here. I would love to know how to make this work.

Hi,

I would not call this a bug as there are thousands of installs running K2 with out issues.

Which encoding are you using as line 50 refers to mb_regex_encoding("UTF-8");
Which version are you using, aree you using local or sever setup?

Thanks.

Well im having some webhost at strato. So it's not local. I downloaded the pack from the mainpage.

Hi. mb_regex_encoding function is available on PHP 4.2 and above and PHP 5. Please ensure that your system meets these requirements and that PHP's mbstring functions are enabled.

Like you see in the picture i created, it is enabled. Server runs on PHP 5.2.12

Hi. If PHP reports that and you are still having problems then maybe we should look somewhere else for bugs (
Web server, PHP ). Really i haven't heard something like this before.

I'm also having the same error (Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_regex_encoding() in /home/com_k2/tables/k2category.php on line 50) and can't use k2 at all because of it. I talked to my host about the issue and they said that everything is fine on their end. Here's my php config:

geniuslabs.info/testinfo.php

note the section where it says:
Multibyte Support enabled

What could be the problem?
Thanks

Hi. The link you posted is a phpinfo script outside Joomla!. You should go to administration->Help->System Info->PHP Information to see the actual configuration for PHP that is used by Joomla!. If you can please post a screenshot.
