XLII. IMAP, POP3 and NNTP functions

Introduction

   These functions are not limited to the IMAP protocol, despite their
   name. The underlying c-client library also supports NNTP, POP3 and
   local mailbox access methods.

Requirements

   This extension requires the c-client library to be installed. Grab the
   latest version from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ and compile it.

   It's important that you do not copy the IMAP source files directly
   into the system include directory as there may be conflicts. Instead,
   create a new directory inside the system include directory, such as
   /usr/local/imap-2000b/ (location and name depend on your setup and
   IMAP version), and inside this new directory create additional
   directories named lib/ and include/. From the c-client directory from
   your IMAP source tree, copy all the *.h files into include/ and all
   the *.c files into lib/. Additionally when you compiled IMAP, a file
   named c-client.a was created. Also put this in the lib/ directory but
   rename it as libc-client.a.

     Note: To build the c-client library with SSL or/and Kerberos
     support read the docs supplied with the package.

Installation

   To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with
   --with-imap[=DIR], where DIR is the c-client install prefix. From our
   example above, you would use --with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2000b. This
   location depends on where you created this directory according to the
   description above. Windows users may include the php_imap.dll DLL in
   php.ini

     Note: Depending how the c-client was configured, you might also
     need to add --with-imap-ssl=/path/to/openssl/ and/or
     --with-kerberos=/path/to/kerberos into the PHP configure line.

   Warning

   The IMAP extension cannot be used in conjuction with the recode or YAZ
   extensions. This is due to the fact that they both share the same
   internal symbol.

Runtime Configuration

   This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.
