Answer 1

In case you want to keep php7, I found a solution with AWS Amazon experts. Just use : sudo yum install -y php70-mbstring

Answer 2

I was having the same issue today. I had some success downloading phpmyadmin from phpmyadmin.net, and following their instructions. I did run into a different problem during the setup of phpmyadmin....

So, I punted on resolving this with the Amazon AMI for now, and chose to install the Bitnami LAMP AMI to get me going quicker. It comes with phpmyadmin configured.

NOTE: Bitnami's AMI is running PHP Version 5.6.29, so I would say it's valid to follow the previous post's advice and downgrade, unless your web application specifically needs PHP 7.0.

Answer 3

I guess that you are following the Amazon tutorial to install phpMyAdmin ?

I had the same problem today and resolved it by uninstall PHP 7.0 with the yum command (the same given by Amazon with 'remove' instead of 'install' :

sudo yum remove httpd24 php70 mysql56-server php70-mysqlnd

and installed PHP 5.6 instead :

sudo yum install httpd24 php56 mysql56-server php56-mysqlnd

I don't know if this is a good solution, but it worked and I could install phpMyAdmin without dependencies problem. I hope it will help :)
