The mbstring php extension error issue

After php and mysql updated, i logged on to phpMyAdmin,then phpMyAdmin shows an error, The mbstring PHP extension is not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.

Look for mbstring in the system
# yum search mbstring

Yum will inform you, if mbstring already installed or not. If not,

Install mbstring
# yum install php-mbstring

Restart server
# reboot

I was ignoring this msg all time on my client’s servers.
Im logged as root using Putty, Im get this:

[root@MyServer username]# yum search mbstring

It looks like the server is out of reach or there is no packages in that server, find another servers or sources for yum
