Install php7-xml to avoid utf encode/decode issue

PHP

Issue

  1. Try to run a local instance of the Dokuwiki installer, using PHP 7’s build-in dev server.

  2. Get these errors:

PHP function utf8_encode is not available. Maybe your hosting provider disabled it for some reason?

PHP function utf8_decode is not available. Maybe your hosting provider disabled it for some reason?

Solution

Use your package manager to install the php7-xml package.
