mbstring extension

Hi,

 I know this topic has been discussed before, and I have spent ages trying to find a fix. OK, here is the problem

I have installed Dolphin OK, and have a working admin section. But on the main site I was getting a memory error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 46080 bytes)

I am on a shared server, and they adviced me to put a php.ini file into the directory where I have the script running, so this I have done but now I get another error

Warning! Dolphin cannot work without mbstring extension. Please go to the Dolphin Troubleshooter and solve the problem.

If I go to myadmin section and view the phpinfo file it is set as

mbstring

In my actual php.ini file for the mbstring section I have

[mbstring]

; language for internal character representation.

;mbstring.language = Japanese

; internal/script encoding.

; Some encoding cannot work as internal encoding.

; (e.g. SJIS, BIG5, ISO-2022-*)

;mbstring.internal_encoding = EUC-JP

; http input encoding.

;mbstring.http_input = auto

; http output encoding. mb_output_handler must be

; registered as output buffer to function

;mbstring.http_output = SJIS

; enable automatic encoding translation according to

; mbstring.internal_encoding setting. Input chars are

; converted to internal encoding by setting this to On.

; Note: Do _not_ use automatic encoding translation for

; portable libs/applications.

;mbstring.encoding_translation = Off

; automatic encoding detection order.

; auto means

;mbstring.detect_order = auto

; substitute_character used when character cannot be converted

; one from another

;mbstring.substitute_character = none;

; overload(replace) single byte functions by mbstring functions.

; mail(), ereg(), etc are overloaded by mb_send_mail(), mb_ereg(),

; etc. Possible values are 0,1,2,4 or combination of them.

; For example, 7 for overload everything.

; 0: No overload

; 1: Overload mail() function

; 2: Overload str*() functions

; 4: Overload ereg*() functions

;mbstring.func_overload = 0

Is any one able to help me with this problem?

Many thanks

the problem is, that I am a reseller and earn a part time living offering hosting packages, so to move would not be an option.

so looks like I will have to find another script

Have a read here..this will help you with the details for php.ini

or this is what i have within my php.ini file which sits in public_html

if you dont have one.. open notepad and copy the following into it and save as php.ini then upload to public_html

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M
output_buffering = on
max_execution_time = 1000
max_input_time = 1000
memory_limit = 64M
