Php 7.1.0 rc1

So I am trying to upgrade from PHP 7.0.10 to PHP 7.1.0 RC1 and I have it running and everything, but phpMyAdmin stopped working for me. So I did

deplister ext\php_mbstring.dll

To see the dependencies and it seems that I am missing .dll files from the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 however since this is the redistribution pack 2, I already have everything installed. Below is the dependencies missing. Can anyone point me in the direction in which I can find those missing files?

So has no one tried upgrading to PHP 7.1.0 RC1 yet?

Yes Linux Ubuntu 16.04.1 with PHP 7.XXX without any problems :slight_smile:

Google returned numerous searches for the missing php_mbstring.dll

Please post your solution for the benefit of others who may have a similar problem,

What a complete fail. I feel so stupid. So when I downloaded the RC1 folder, I saved the php.ini file from PHP 7.0.10 into the new PHP folder, but I guess it didn’t save or something. When I went back to look at the folder, the php.ini file I saved wasn’t there. So I just redid it from the sample php.ini-development file and it worked.

I was actually having this message.

Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in C:\dev\www\PHPMyAdmin\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc:177

And I googled it and it came up to something about the php_mbstring.dll not being installed so that was what I just assumed since I thought RC1 had new dependencies. Such a fail on my part. Thanks for the help by the way.
