if you use PhpMyAdmin without install mbstring php extension, you get the warning about this:
The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings ...
The best method is using YUM:
[root@server1 /]# yum install php-mcrypt
after finish, restart apache/httpd
[root@server1 /]# sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Using YUM linux command (Cent OS or Fedora Core Linux)
as root user:
# yum install php-gd
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Verify if php gd is loaded --> Type the following command:
# php -m | grep gd
