The php-mbstring is part of Redhat’s server optional packages. If you have a current subscirption all you need to do is to enable this repository using:
[root@rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
and use yum to install php-mbstring. In case that you do not have a current Redhat subscription you can install php-mbstring directly from IUS project repository:
[root@rhel7 ~]# wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/7/x86_64/ius-release-1.0-13.ius.el7.noarch.rpm [root@rhel7 ~]# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm [root@rhel7 ~]# rpm -Uvh *release*.rpm
Now simply execute yum command to install php-mbstring:
[root@rhel7 ~]# yum install php-mbstring

If you alredy had PHP installed on your server you may get a Transaction check error. In this case we need to replace entire PHP stack:
[root@rhel7 ~]# wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/7/x86_64/yum-plugin-replace-0.2.7-1.ius.el7.noarch.rpm
Install yum replace package:
[root@rhel7 ~]# rpm -i yum-plugin-replace-0.2.7-1.ius.el7.noarch.rpm
and replace entire PHP stack:
[root@rhel7 ~]# yum replace php --replace-with php56u
