Recompile PHP with IMAP in Windows

[RobHudson]

I'm fairly new to the world of php - and what a world it is!

I had a succesfull installation of php on my XP machine [wow!] but I don't have imap installed. I've found plenty of sites telling me I need to recompile it with imap, but they have all been unix boxes

Does anyone have a relatively simple process I can use to get imap running [other than binning xp!]?? Or know any sites that can help??

Thanks

You don't need to recompile the php ... as you use Windows 32 in the package you have the DLL required for using IMAP. IT's named php_imap.dll and you should find it in the extensions dir of the PHP.

What you need to do, is edit the php.ini file that should be in c:\windows or c:\winnt, and where you find:
;extension=php_imap.dll
just remove the semicolon.

after, call a script with
<?=phpinfo()?>
and look for IMAP there. If you find it, it's already flying Anikin

Thanks for that!
Still bad news though

I have got hold of php_imap.dll, uncommented the extension line and made sure the extension_dir is pointing to the right place...scripts still run but I get a warning about not being able to load the dll.

I have restarted iis just in case that made any difference.

If you have any more ideas [however rediculous!] please give me a shout...

Cheers

copy all the files (overwritting the originals) from the dll dir to c:\windows\system32.
