I am trying to do a composer install ...
, but getting an error of requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.
I am using Apache (Cpanel) and PHP 5.6.
Below are the ways I am trying to fix the error.
1: yum search mbstring
============================================= N/S matched: mbstring ============================================= ea-php54-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling ea-php55-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling ea-php56-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling ea-php70-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling ea-php71-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling ea-php72-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling rh-php56-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling rh-php70-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling rh-php71-php-mbstring.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications which need multi-byte string handling
2: yum install ea-php56-php-mbstring.x86_64

It seems mbstring is installed but why I got an error when I try to composer install?
Another way (update PHP version in cPanel)
1: WHM – already set to 7.1
2: cPanel – already set to 7.1
but version in server still 5.6
Any suggestions to resolve require ext-mbstring
error?

Answer
Installing rh can solve this issue yum install rh-php56-php-mbstring.x86_64
Please double check what you have in your server. Mine is rh-php56-php-mbstring.x86_64
not php-mbstring
