It could raise the concern if you re either     Case 1  Downgrading  upgrading any PHP version  Case 2  Enabling Disabling  Switching  between PHP versions  Here are some recommended commands I found helpful to fix these concerns  Message 1  The mbstring extension is missing        sudo apt-get install php7 1-mbstring    Message 2  The mysqli extension is missing        sudo apt-get install php7 1-mysqli  Note  Tested with PHP version 7 1  Change PHP version as per requirement

It could happen after you update your php version  for instance if you upgrade from php5 6 to php7 1 you need to run these commands   sudo apt-get install php7 1-mbstring sudo service apache2 restart   If your destination version is different you need to check if the mbstring package exsit or not  an example for php7 0   sudo apt-cache search php7 0-mbstring   I found it useful to first check existence of all modules that you working with  then performing an upgrade  in addition to that update phpmyadmin after upgrading your php is a good idea
