Translations:PHP configuration/11/en

MediaWiki either needs or wants a number of optional features of PHP that need to be enabled at compile time:
 * [$mbstring mbstring] multibyte character string support (optional; slower custom code will be used if not available)
 * [$iconv iconv] character set conversion library (optional; other conversion functions will be used if not available)
 * [$zlib zlib] compression library, optionally to compress the file cache
 * [$sockets sockets] support for network communication, if using memcached
 * [$dba dba] DBM-style database abstraction layer, for caching, with the following handlers:
 * CDB for interwiki cache (and maybe some other things)
 * Berkely DB3 if you want to use CACHE_DBA in either $wgMainCacheType, $wgParserCacheType or $wgMessageCacheType
 * FastStringSearch
