php5 with imap on windows

a1dutch

does anyone have php5 workin with imap, i have copied the php_imap.dll file from the php 4.3 binary and placed it in the file where it searches for extension but it is unable to load it and comes up with an error when windows has loaded.

i can get mysql to work so i know that it is loading extensions, i have also added the extension to the php.ini file but still unable to load.

can anyone help?

cheers

Windows users may include the php_imap.dll DLL in php.ini. IMAP is not supported on systems earlier that Windows 2000. This is because it uses encryption functions in order to enable SSL connections to the mail servers.

Not sure on what Windows version your using but that may help.

im running windows 2003 enterprise with apache, mysql and php 5.02. mysql, apache, php all work fine

i have included the php_imap.dll in my php.ini file but when windows loads it throws an error saying that it was unable to load.

i load a module for mysql (libmysql.dll) which is placed in the same dir (c:\php) as the php_imap.dll

any ideas why it does not load the module?

Make sure that C:\PHP is in your system Path. Try copying the DLL files to the System32 dir.

i have copied the files to both c:\php and c:\windows\system32 and added the c:\php to the path variable, it just comes up with a message

unable to load dynamic module 'php_imap.dll', system cannot find the designated file.

i know that its looking in both directorys as it loads a module for mysql (libmysql.dll).

im really thinking of going back to php 4.3 and ditching php5 as i need this to work.

i might to removing all traces and doing a fresh install of the new php revision php 5.04 and im currently running php 5.03

Maybe try installing XAMPP? Those guys have a pretty good installer for windows.
