Activating mbstring in PHP after installing extension

I have a trouble using functions of mb-string extension in PHP. It is working well in Windows, but when I migrate to Linux server, it fails with error message. " Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in...". I figured out that I need to install mb-string extension, and it was pretty simple.

yum install php-mbstring
service httpd restart

But the problem is that although I installed mbstring extension, that error still occurs. I have tried php_info to check if the extension is installed, but I can't find mbstring on that list, even though if I run yum install php-mbstring again, it says "already installed, nothing to do". Any ideas? Please help.

you have to enable encoding: go to your php.ini change 

;mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8

to 

mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8

you can change it to your required encoding:by visiting here:http://php.net/mbstring.internal-encoding

save and restart the server.

Note: you can change other related thing also by removing ; from the beginning ,if required.
