Php Myadmin Install Problem

[Quicksolutions]

The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.

I just installed phpmyadmin v2.8.2.1 and I get the above error. Everything else appears fine. Does anyone happen to know the files and edits that need be made here?

Thanks.

Why would you install phpMyAdmin?
PowWeb already has it installed: http://phpmyadmin.powweb.com :P

That sounds great, but I am working on a http://localhost machine. Does the POW phpmyadmin access w/out the internet? Otherwise, back to my original question. Thanks.

Sorry, didn't know you were installing it in your computer.

Try this:
Go to your bin folder in the apache folder... (ex: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin)
Make a php.ini file with this in it:
extension=php_mbstring.dll
