Hi,

I have the exact same problem.

The php sources throwing this error is (from
http://php5.sourcesdb.com/r.php?num=1960)

   if (_tran_cs == mbfl_no_encoding_invalid) {
   php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Unsupported charset \"%s\" -
will be regarded as ascii", charset);
   _tran_cs = mbfl_no_encoding_ascii;
   }

It seems that the mb_string-extension does not strip away the quotations on
"utf-8". Then, since "\"utf-8\"" != "utf-8" the script endocing is not
considered valid.

But I cannot see where it gets the idea from that the chosen encoding is "utf-8"
with quotation marks... In php.in all I've got is mbstring.internal_encoding =
UTF-8 (without quation as one can see)

Do you have any new light to shed over the subject?

Cheers,

Fredrik
