fails without mbstring

When php is compiled without mbstring, php-gettext completely fails to work. I think it would be great if still worked for simple (and probably most common) case where everything is utf-8.

Hi, thanks for the report. I've committed a fix similar to what was proposed on a bug on SF. It's in r60 of lp:php-gettext, and depending on how much you need it in a release, I can roll one out later today.

To fix encoding stuff properly, it'd probably take a bit more effort. However, proposed patch on SF was just passing the text through, so I did that in my version as well. I didn't want to define such stubs since that might conflict with something else expecting those functions (and php-gettext is a library and is commonly combined with other code).
Thus, I just wrapped the call with function_exists stuff.

Let me know how it works.

Also, can you please check if "ini_get('mbstring.internal_encoding')" returns anything when PHP is compiled with no mbstring support? (this is used in _get_codeset() when PO/MO file has no charset defined).

I don't have such version, but I've forwarded the question to original reporter.

when PHP is compiled with no mbstring support, " ini_get('mbstring.internal_encoding')" method returns an empty string.

Thanks for the input, I'll make it use UTF-8 in that case then.

I'm experiencing a similar issue but the revision 60 didn't seem to fix it.

I have mbstring support enabled, but "ini_get('mbstring.internal_encoding')" is still returning and empty string.
