I tried uncommenting extension = php_mbstring.dll but it still throws an error. I tried to change extension_dir in "php.ini" and it gives an error. Help is appreciated.

- EDIT TO NEW INFORMATION -
Since this is Windows, you must reinstall PHP by enabling the extension in the PHP.INI file and restarting the web server.
- PREVIOUS SOLUTION FOR LINUX -
You need to install mbstring for php.
Using:
sudo apt-get install phpX.X-mbstring
Where XX is your PHP version number.
