hi, and thanks, i enabled the extension for php_imap.dll and set the path correctly. i didn't need to recompile anything just enable extension and path and use the dll that came with php4. thanks, dave. -----Original Message----- From: Derek Comartin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 4:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IMAP c-client David, Under Linux, all you have to do is download and compile the latest c-client library. You can grab it at ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ Once compiled, copy c-client/c-client.a to /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a or some other directory on your link path and copy c-client/rfc822.h, mail.h and linkage.h to /usr/local/include or some other directory in your include path. Then you will need to re-configure and compile php. To use imap support you will need to configure with the --option command. Example: ./configure --with-imap make make install Once thats done you should now be able to use all of the imap_* functions. Under windows, open up your php.ini and under the "Dynamic Extensions" section, un-comment: ;extension=php_imap.dll So it will look like: extension=php_imap.dll Note: make sure you extension_dir path points to the correct folder (this option is in your php.ini under Paths and Directories) And that should do it...
