From the PHP Manual:

To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-imap. That requires the c-client library to be installed. Grab the latest version from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ and compile it. Then 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.

You'll have to recompile PHP to use the imap functions.

Hi!
I've got some more problems with the --with-imap.
I've got everything you wrote in your posting:
/usr/lib/libc-client.a
/usr/include/imap/rfc822.h
/usr/include/imap/mail.h
/usr/include/imap/linkage.h

I'm compiling php4 with the following ./configure:

./configure --with-mdir \
--with-jpeg-dir \
--with-png-dir \
--with-imap=/usr \
--with-xml \
--with-ttf \
--with-ftp --with-db3 \
--with-gettext \
--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd \
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/apache/bin \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-yp \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-safe-mode \
--enable-sysvsem--enable-sysvshm \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-memory-limit \
--with-readline --with-openssl \
--enable-wddx

The compile works (no errormessage), but at starting apache the message
/usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: rfc822_parse_msg
comes and apache doesn't start.

Do you know how to fix this problem?

Guys - I have followed the instructions Ryan has quoted explicitely ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php ) - everything appeared to compile properly on my RH6.1 box and the httpd binary works - but gives me the "Call to undefined function error" for any IMAP functions.
So, at this point Im not sure why it didnt compile properly.
Any ideas?

-Thanks,
Ken

I had success to compile the php/apache
with imap support under redhat 7.0 and
apache 1.3.19 and php 4.0.5.

But, when I compile the php with imap
and sybase support. even the compile
is finished. but the sybase still
doesn't work.

Herewith the batch file
for : imap_support.sh
php4_sybase_imap.sh

#imap_support.sh
