Please verify that your PHP installation was compiled with the mbstring extension.

@Bleistivt‌ thanks for your quick reply, I think my MBString is off have any way to enable without have to contact the host?

If you can't somehow manage your php installation, not really, unfortunately.

If they can't turn it on for you and switching hosts is not an option, you can edit line 988 in /library/vendors/simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php
to:

$charset = "UTF-8";

Even though it works, it is not recommended.

SOLVED: Hours later, here is what just worked (12-6-2014) on the VPS w/total access (that I know of) via WHM:
Current: CENTOS 6.6 x86_64 virtuozzo; WHM 11.46.0 (build 21); cPanel Version 11.46.0 (build 21); Apache Version 2.2.29; PHP Version 5.4.35; MPM Prefork; Mod Ruid2; MySQL Version 5.5.40-cll; Architecture x86_64;
I used THIS section quoted below as I knew what EasyApache was (from the last rebuild to fix PDO issue here--but just needed to change to Ruid2 cPanel recommended profile then). You're only after the "Exhaustive options list"!

QUOTE:

If you have cPanel hosting you can use Easy Apache to do this through shell. These are the steps.

Type the Easy Apache PathType the path for Easy Apache
root@vps#### [~]# /scripts/easyapache
1.) Do not say yes to the "cPanel update available".
2.) Continue through the screens with defaults till you get to the "Exhaustive options list".
3.) Page down till you see the Mbstring extension listed and select it.
4.) Continue through the Steps and Save the Apache PHP build.
5.) Apache and PHP will now rebuild to include the mbstring extension.
6.) Wait for the process to finish ~10 to 30 minutes.
7.) Once the process is finished you should see the Mbstring extension in the phpinfo now.

The Configure Command of php readout now proudly states: '--enable-mbstring' where that never existed before, and no more error:
library/vendors/simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php on line 988

On to the next upgrade jungle whacks.
