I have seen other threads about this issue, but the solutions posted are not working for me. Everything indicates that mbstring is enabled on my server, which seems to be the root cause of this issue. When loading the frontend webpage I get the followoing error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_split() in /home/user_removed/components/com_roksprocket/lib/RokSprocket/Util/HTMLManipulator.php on line 36
I edited line 36 and changed it fromto$tokens = mb_split("\s+", $content);$tokens = preg_split("/\s+/", $content);
This allows me to load the webpage fine on the frontend which makes me think it is definitely an issue with mbstring, but I'm not sure what else to try. Could mbstring be enabled but not functioning correctly for some reason. Are there settings relevant to mbstring that would need to be modified or could be set incorrectly?
Also, when loading the template manager on the backend I receive the following error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_eregi() in /home/user_removed/libraries/rokcommon/phpQuery.php on line 1422
I will post some of my settings in case it is helpful in suggesting what to try next. I have full access to all of the php and server configurations via WHM/cPanel virtual server setup.

- mb_eregi (and similar) is sort of a "core" function that most people compile into PHP so you have to contact your webhost so that they can fix this.

- Thanks for the response. I ended up finding the root cause of the problem was not with mbstring which was enabled, it was with mbregex, which was disabled by default for some reason. I rebuilt apache/php with mbregex enabled and all is well.

For those whose hosting company will not make changes reference mbstring or mbregex, this is the solution I patched together:
for the errors of:
Call to undefined function mb_split()
Call to undefined function mb_eregi()
Use Craig Fuoss's edit of
/components/com_roksprocket/lib/RokSprocket/Util/HTMLManipulator.php on line 36
Line 36 and change fromto$tokens = mb_split("\s+", $content);$tokens = preg_split("/\s+/", $content);
then since that causes RokCommon errors:
/libraries/rokcommon/phpQuery.php
Line 1422 and change fromtoreturn extension_loaded('mbstring') && phpQuery::$mbstringSupport ? mb_eregi('\w', $char) : preg_match('@\w@', $char);preg_match('@\w@', $char);
Line 1838 and change fromto//$isTag = extension_loaded('mbstring') && phpQuery::$mbstringSupport //? mb_ereg_match('^[\w|\||-]+$', $s) || $s == '*' //: preg_match('@^[\w|\||-]+$@', $s) || $s == '*';$isTag = preg_match('@^[\w|\||-]+$@', $s) || $s == '*';
Hope that helps someone else since I wasted time messing with it. - Last Edit: 7 years 11 months ago by YellowWebMonkey.

You can also try adding this in your local php.ini
extension=php_mbstring.dll - SEARCH the forum first! These boards are rich in knowledge and vast in topics. This includes searching just the 'Solved' forums, using Google, and using ChatGPT

For me works just your first recommendation.
I mean, I just do the modification in line 36:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_split() in /home/user_removed/components/com_roksprocket/lib/RokSprocket/Util/HTMLManipulator.php on line 36
I edited line 36 and changed it from
$tokens = mb_split("\s+", $content);
to
$tokens = preg_split("/\s+/", $content);
Thank you very much!
