imap_open not defined?

[Anon]

I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/postamt/index.php on line 16

when I tried to run this line of code:

$mb=imap_open("{$IMAPHOST:$IMAPPORT}", $PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW);

I thought imap_open() is a built-in function of php4, or I am assuming too much?

Please advise, thank you.

You are assuming too much 🙂 PHP "has" imap functions available but you have to turn them on. You need to compile PHP with the --with-imap switch, and of course have the imap libraries and such available.

Check this page for details http://www.php.net/manual/ref.imap.php
