are you on a shared hosting or dedicated if on shared:

try editing your .htaccess file and add the following if its not there:
php_value mbstring.func_overload 0

if its on dedicated try changing your php.ini:
mbstring.func_overload = 7
to
mbstring.func_overload = 0

I think the previous time I had issue with it was when I was on PHP 5.2.5 and most of my other script too were not functioning thus I guess 5.2.5 has a problem and be warn that the .htaccess alternative may impact your neighbour

A previous post covering this subject: http://forums.pligg.com/installation...line-39-a.html

This problem is caused by a setting in your php.ini file, htaccess might be able to overwrite the settings as a patch if you are unable to edit php.ini directly. Add the following code to your .htaccess file in the site root.

  php_value mbstring.func_overload 0
