Hi! I have installed Drupal 6.8...everything goes well but the problem when I install it is that the images of the theme (.jpg and .png) are not visible...is this the effect of php mbstring things? because theres an error saying "Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support." If this is the cause of not showing the images, how can i address the issue? thanks a lot

i dont know if this points you!
try to use this php script to path the images
<?php">echo base_path() . path_to_theme() . "/images/image.png";
?>
Check out your php.ini file
Check out your php.ini file if you have php_mbstring extension enabled
Thanks

php_value register_globals 0
php_value session.auto_start 0
php_value mbstring.http_input auto
php_value mbstring.http_output pass

sorry for late reply, You
sorry for late reply,
You can search for "Dynamic extension" from your php.ini file and you'll see something like this
;extension=php_interbase.dll
;extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll /should be unquoted/
then restart your server..
maybe a web server issue...
Hi Merto! Thanks a lot for helping me out here, I really appreciate it. I will summarized my problem more specific...
I just upload my drupal website to my webspace of my hosting provider. I have upload and install Drupal. The only problem is that all the images doesnt appear and post this: "Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support. (Currently using Unicode library Standard PHP)", the other functions works well.
I have created php.ini file ( since i cant find any existing php.ini file in drupal) but still, its doesnt work, i still cant see my images and mbstring extension still not working.
I have tried uploading drupal to other testing site and seems everything works well. I think I have to consult this to the webserver administrator, maybe theres a problem with their server...
Thanks a lot for helping me here...Merry Xmas!

Hi Art, I assumed that your running on your localhost where php was installed. You really need to consult your hosting provider to know their configuration.
cheers...
possible solution
(Working on my localhost)
I had the same issue: uploading a file, but there was nothing stored in my /image map after the upload. I reinstalled drupal to find out if it was a server communication issue, but file upload was working correctly now. (=server settings good)
Solution that did work for me:
re-enabled all modules 1-by-1 and found out that the devel module was responsible. Probably a bug with an other module.
Good luck
