So, the downloadable version of this plugin only has the one example, but if not mistaken this forum has examples of files at least that have been tried.

If I may ask, why is it that you ask for examples? Perhaps there is another way for you to gain what you want.

Probably best summary seen in a while. Error log messages?
Menu item under tools means at least part of SQL worked for the installation.
Config menu option ought to be under configuration menu option.

Regarding attempts, cleared browser cookies/cache before trying after change? (Saw a new zenid= in browser path?)

Thanks mc12345678 for the reply.

error log:
[15-Nov-2013 15:44:59 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /easypopulate_4.php on line 139

I found the config menu option where you said it would be.

Cleared the cache.

I used the developers toolkit to search all php files for "mb_internal_encoding" and it only found instances in easypopulate_4.php

Good, so looked through my cart as well which is ZC v1.5.1 and found only one instance of that function as well, it was in easypopulate_4.php. A search of the global encyclopedia indicated that requires php 4.0.6 or higher to be installed/used...

Also it appears that you need to enable mbstring in your php.ini file... Possibly installing/activating php-mbstring or something similar?

The only other thing is that if the above doesn't resolve your issue, there may be something related to the text in that statement, that you may need to use something other than UTF-8. I do not recall what format the ZC database is in for version 1.3.8, but if not UTF-8 then there may be a compatibility issue with EP4 and your database. I can not say that for sure, but it could be an issue.

I couldn't install mb-string, not my server.

Did some research and zen cart still uses utf8, depending on language options.

I commented out the function mb_internal_encoding() and removed it in the echo statement and works.

Thanks

Couple of things. You say, still uses utf8. I understand that 1.5.x does, but does 1.3.8?

Also, state unable to "install mbstring because not your server", does that mean you do not have access to the php.ini file as it shouldn't take much to activate it,and it is probably already "installed" just not active.
