I've solved my problem by this way:Edit the php.ini file:

  1. change extension_dir = "ext" into extension_dir = "D:\php\ext" (please write ur own path)
  2. change ;extension=php_mbstring.dll into extension=php_mbstring.dll (delete the ";")
  3. Then just save your php.ini file and copy it to ur Windows directory。(“C:\Windows“)
  4. restart the apache server。

The above is my solution,Hope it will work for u.

Please install mbstring and mysql by
