For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* modes, see the Where a configuration setting may be set. Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.
mbstring.language
stringThe default national language setting (NLS) used in mbstring. Note that this option automagically defines
mbstring.internal_encoding
andmbstring.internal_encoding
should be placed aftermbstring.language
inphp.ini
mbstring.encoding_translation
boolEnables the transparent character encoding filter for the incoming HTTP queries, which performs detection and conversion of the input encoding to the internal character encoding.
mbstring.internal_encoding
stringWarning
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.6.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Defines the default internal character encoding.
PHP 5.6 and later users should leave this empty and set
default_charset
instead.mbstring.http_input
stringWarning
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.6.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Defines the default HTTP input character encoding.
PHP 5.6 and later users should leave this empty and set
default_charset
instead.mbstring.http_output
stringWarning
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.6.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Defines the default HTTP output character encoding (output will be converted from the internal encoding to the HTTP output encoding upon output).
PHP 5.6 and later users should leave this empty and set
default_charset
instead.mbstring.detect_order
stringDefines default character code detection order. See also mb_detect_order().
mbstring.substitute_character
stringDefines character to substitute for invalid character encoding. See mb_substitute_character() for supported values.
mbstring.func_overload
stringWarning
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Overloads a set of single byte functions by the mbstring counterparts. See Function overloading for more information.
This setting can only be changed from the
php.ini
file.mbstring.http_output_conv_mimetypes
stringmbstring.strict_detection
boolEnables the strict encoding detection.
According to the » HTML 4.01 specification, Web browsers are allowed to encode a form being submitted with a character encoding different from the one used for the page. See mb_http_input() to detect character encoding used by browsers.
Although popular browsers are capable of giving a reasonably accurate guess
to the character encoding of a given HTML document, it would be better to
set the charset
parameter in the
Content-Type
HTTP header to the appropriate value by
header() or
default_charset ini setting.
