does there exist a way to receive emails (pop3) with php WITHOUT installing all those libraries in apache? maybe there exists a library php-file like the one for zip-options on http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/manuel.en.php ?
thx for help! 🙂
j0sh
email receiving? not sure what you mean there, are you trying to create a web-based email interface
yeah i'd like to do that.
do you want to do this for coding practice, or do you need it for a client, etc... cuz there are many, many of them already made
i'm coding a file management tool

and liked to add the email feature as a goodie. 🙂
Lol.. just do POP3/SMTP.. unless your doing this in PHP to learn stuff..
don't i have to install any libraries in my server to use pop3/smtp??
to do this you will have to look at the IMAP functions

go to that page i showed you, it tells you all the dependencies you will need to install along with certain compilation changes
sorry. i just dont get it.
did you read this
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 [url]ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/[/url] 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.
