Compile php with mbstring support

Message

phpMyAdmin is complaining there's no mbstring support. So, after some research, I realize my PHP build was configured with --disable-mbstring, when it should be --enable-mbstring. How do I make that change while still allowing portage to handle the build? There doesn't seem to be a use flag for it.

dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r4

If it matters:
dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.7.0_p1
dev-db/mysql-4.1.14

Code: Select all

#                               extension               USE flag                shared support?
enable_extension_enable         "mbstring"              "nls"                   1

That did it. Thanks!

That's out of /usr/portage/eclass/php5_0-sapi.eclass

If you can't find something in the ebuild, check the eclass.

Use "unicode" USE flag for PHP-5.1

hmm for some reason PHPMyadmin is telling me php doesn't have mbstring support, even though I have emerged it with the "unicode" use flag. Any ideas?

Here are my use flags:

Code: Select all

# emerge -pv php

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

figured it out, apache2 wasn't included as a flag.

The following line worked:
USE="apache2 unicode" emerge php

Not sure why apache2 wasn't included automatically, since it is installed...
