I have wamp 2.5 on my windows

When I run PHP artisan command it gives me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function Illuminate\Foundation\Bootstrap\mb_internal_encoding() in C:\wamp\www\advanced-laravel\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Bootstrap\LoadConfiguration.php on line 43

You need to have mbstring installed and enabled. I can't give an answer how to fix it because i do not know your platform. But if you are using a xampp/wamp server i would setup a homestead VM instead. It can be a little complicated but it is easy when you first have learned it.

Here is a good tutorial for setting up a homestead on laracasts: Virtual Machines and Homestead setup
