String in general, or really just the warning from phpMyAdmin?

It's likely you don't have the mbstring extension installed.  You can recompiled PHP with --enable-mbstring, or if you're on Windows you can uncomment the php_mbstring.dll line and restart.

Or do what I do and ignore it - I'm not using multibyte characters, so phpMyAdmin is flapping in the wind.
