Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strstr()

Hi John,

Yes - the answer to this one is simple - you just need to enable the mbstring PHP extension in your php.ini file - if you are using a windows server. Do a find on extensions and make sure that the mbstring extension is enabled.
If you are on shared hosting you often get some options in cpanel to choose which PHP modules/extensions to enable.

We need this mbstring extension because we use utf-8 characters throughout and these guys are a couple of bytes per character. I thought the installer checked for the availability of the mbstring module/extension but perhaps not?
