My ISP has enabled mbstring now. Its obviously not enabled by default for PHP > 4.3 (some forum postings I've read elsewhere suggest it is).

Thanks all for your help. 

No sign of it that I can see (see attached PDF).

Thanks for the info.

I guess I should assume mbstring is not enabled if I can't find it on the PHP Info tab of the System Info page. Ho hum...

My site runs on a hosted server (with PHP 4.4.1 installed), and I have no access to php.ini or httpd.conf.

How can I tell if mbstring is installed, and what can I do if it isn't?

A brave decision, and really admirable that the core team is completely united in this. I find it hard to get a handle on whats really going on behind the scenes, but the fact that the core team have pulled out en-masse is strangely comforting. Total respect for taking a stand and taking bold action...
