from /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini on borg

; overload(replace) single byte functions by mbstring functions.
; mail(), ereg(), etc are overloaded by mb_send_mail(), mb_ereg(),
; etc. Possible values are 0,1,2,4 or combination of them.
; For example, 7 for overload everything.
; 0: No overload
; 1: Overload mail() function
; 2: Overload str*() functions
; 4: Overload ereg*() functions
;mbstring.func_overload = 0
; ;;;;;;;;;;;
; Added by datakid, 25/11/2007 for egroupware
mbstring.func_overload = 7


I have removed the custom mbstring.func_overload setting from this 
global file and set it back to 0. I have put into the apache vhost file 
for egroupware the following.

php_value mbstring.func_overload 7
