IMAP DLL hangs PHP

[Anon]

I'm running Win95 and I just downloaded both PHP and the Xitami web server, so I have the newest versions of those. I installed the PHP binary using the wizard, but then downloaded the other distribution to get the IMAP DLL. I copied that into the same directory as PHP.EXE, and uncommented the extension line in PHP.INI. After that, PHP would time out every time, even on pages with just one echo() statement. As soon as I re-commented the extension line, it worked again (though of course I can't use the IMAP functions). What do I have to do to make this work? Thanks for any help...

This might be due to different versions of the CGI and the DLL OR due to a misconfigured extensions directory in the PHP.ini file..

• Different Versions ------
  Once you use the installer to install, take the ZIP version and basically replace the installed files with the ZIP files

php.exe
php4ts.dll
*.dll (the extensions)

If you've changed your .INI file, do not replace that with the ZIP'd version as you'll lose all your changes..

• Extensions Path --------
  Basically look for the line that reads "extension_dir" and replace that with the path to your extensions:
  ie. c:\php\extensions\

Have fun and good luck =)
