Hi Corey,

I'm upgrading from 1.7.1 to 2.1.
I just built the current PHP (2.5.2), and Eventum is having issues with:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /opt/freeware/apache/share/htdocs/eventum-2.1/include/php-gettext/gettext.inc on line 107
Looking at mb_detect_encoding, it requires the mbstring extension for PHP, which is not added by default. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php
Is this a prerequisite extension now? I have my APP_GETTEXT_MODE setting to 'native', although I don't have gettext support built into PHP either (so I guess its falling back on the php-gettext, which appears to require mbstring, although it doesn't check for it before using the functions...)
I had a fix for this in my dev environment but I forget to merge it into the
release. My
change is simple, and you can see the diff here:
This will be in our next release.
Please note that while you do not need mbstring if you are only using english,
using a
foreign language may require mbstring.
