I'm on a mandriva x64 (2010.0) system and have 
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Nov 15 2009 11:54:34)
installed, i use lighttpd as my webserver for local stuff.
I find i need the mbstring extension so i installed it via mcc
its now in /usr/lib64/php/extensions/mbstring.so
but php -m dosent list it as loaded.
The /etc/php.ini file has an mbstring section which i 
set to this (all the other items under [mbstring] are commented out):
[mbstring]
; language for internal character representation.
; http://php.net/mbstring.language
mbstring.language = English

I restarted lighttpd but i still dont have mbstring loaded.
What have i missed?
Thanks
Cat22
