The documentation on objects is sketchy for those of us (me) who don't do
OOP. I searched for info on how to access parts of an object (properties)
for a long time before finding the only e.g. in the manual, and it is not
obvious what to do to actually implement these in code. I realize it
isn't tough to figure out once you get started, but it is a black box
without that tiny little hint which is not well presented. I also don't
see anything about the bit masks for the flags nor anything about the
flags themselves.

In order to get the IMAP functions to compile under apache (1.3.6) on
FreeBSD (3.2-R) and IMAP-4.6-BETA I had to unlink libc-client4.so from
libc-client4.so.5 and then link libc-client4.so to c-client.a. Hope this
is of use to anyone else in the future.

The information at the top of this page IS A LIE.
If you want the IMAP
functions then DO NOT
copy c-client.a into (for example)
/usr/local/lib.
Instead, copy it to some appropriate directory
in
your link path, but give it the new
name:
libc-client4.a
It has GOT to have that name or
else you will get
really weird *configure-time* failures when
doing
the second configure step on Apache.
Also, if you are
on a FreeBSD 3.1 system, look
around and see if you already had files
installed
whose names
are:
/usr/local/lib/libc-client4.so
/usr/local/lib/libc-client4.so.4
If
you have these then DELETE THEM before you start the second configure step
on Apache or
else things will go very wrong. Don't ask me why.
I
don't know. I just know that they don't work and
they must not be in
your link path or else you won't even be able to do the second Apache
configure step.

Some of the functions return Objects when in the docs it says
Array.
echo the var to see it's type
to access an object member
use ->
<PRE>
<?php
$mbox =
imap_open("{localhost:143}INBOX", "username",
"password");
if ($hdr = imap_check($mbox)) {
echo
"Num Messages " . $hdr->Nmsgs;
}
else {
echo "failed";

I had all kinds of problems compiling and installing the latest version of
imap (4.7). So, i went and got imap-4.4.tar.Z to see if maybe it was a
version problem. 4.4 installed just fine. But you have to rename
c-client.a to libc-client4.a like [email protected] said above.

I banged my head for hours getting configure-time errors when doing a
./configure in the apache directory after configuring PHP with IMAP
support. I had followed the instructions above. In the end, I had to
delete the file "/usr/lib/libimap.so" in order to get it to
compile okay. This was on Red Hat 6.1 with the 4.6-3 imap RPMs installed.
Just in case that helps somebody.

To paraphrase Mark Musone:
The base you need to properly
understand the php IMAP
functions is to know the c-client library,
since the IMAP
module is just a port of the c-client
library.
Start by looking at the internals.txt file in the doc
directory of
c-client.
(Presumably this c-client/doc
directory is in the IMAP directory, not the PHP source itself... If I'm
following Mark correctly.)

Note to RedHat users:
To get php imap support with redhat's
shipped IMAP rpm, do the following.
1) Install both the imap and
imap-devel rpm's
2) As mentioned above, copy /usr/lib/c-client.a
to /usr/lib/libc-client.a and the three headers (mail.h, linkage.h, and
rfc822.h from /usr/include/imap to /usr/include
3) Important!
Before configuring PHP, you'll need to set a few environmental variables.
With bash, do:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5
-lgssapi_krb5 -lpam"
or c shell:
setenv LDFLAGS
"-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5 -lgssapi_krb5 -lpam"
Now
configure php --with-imap and other options and all should work well.

As stated above, "The underlying c-client library.... and local
mailbox access methods". How might one open a stream to a local mail
file such as /var/spool/mail/$USER ??
[email protected]: by
using the filename as $mbox parameter

I found that just adding the LDFlags to the PHP configure does not do the
job on a RedHat 7 System with User Compiled Apache /PHP but RPM
imap.
what I did is following:
php config script
:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5 -lgssapi_krb5
-lpam"
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-imap --includedir=/usr
--with-openssl=/root/server/openssl-0.9.6
then the APACHE
Config script:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5
-lgssapi_krb5 -lpam"
./configure with the rest of the apache
options
Now it Finaly works for me..

Tried compiling PHP4 (latest @ 08:45 07 Apr 01) with IMAP and with Apache
1.3.19, on a RedHat (6.2) system.
Once IMAP is compiled, and you've
exported the LDFLAGS (above), run ldconfig before compiling PHP &
Apache, then and only then it worked.

paule.

To activate quota support from the IMAP library, it is necessary to specify
the directory for the files c-client.a and *.h, because the above
mentioned header files are not enough for a successful compilation. e.g.
./configure --with-imap=../imap-2000c

If you want to get PHP 4.0.5 to work with IMAP and Sybase, you may have to
rename some of the imap functions in the library source code, because they
conflict with functions of the same name in Sybase.
Search for
everything starting with tcp_ and replace it by e.g. cc_tcp_. Otherwise,
the imap_open function won't be able to connect.

The IMAP Client API does not login to Cyrus POP3 Servers correctly, Only
getting the capablities of the Cyrus server ie:

C:USER aaa
S: ****
C:PASS

This is strange since it works for other pop3 servers

I have RedHat 7.1 with imap-2000-9 and imap-devel-2000-9 rpms installed and
I tried to install php with imap support following some advices posted in
this list but I could't get it works.
What I did to get it works
was:
In the php configure script I put this options:
./configure
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --with-imap --with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.6a
--with-kerberos
After executing the apache configure script I put
this options in the src/Makefile inmmediatly after
lmodphp4:
-lc-client -lssl
And now It works!!!

I've just upgraded from PHP 4.0.5 to 4.0.6 compiled with IMAP support.
With all versions up to 4.0.5 I have been able to keep with the old UW
IMAP 4-4 client libraries, but the IMAP changes in 4.0.6 appear to require
the IMAP 2000 series client. Upgrading to IMAP-2000c worked fine for me.
Hope this helps someone!

If you are having problems with "segmentation fault (core
dumped)" errors when using the imap functions, probably you are using
the qpopper pop server. The qpopper aparently sends a invalid return
message when opening a conection with imap_open() function. Try to
substitute the qpopper with another server like tpop or imap instead.

Various functions including imap_headerinfo() and
imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist() were buggy because I had downloaded the very
latest version of c-client.
Look carefully at
and you'll find an "old" directory containing previous
versions.
imap-2000c.tar.Z worked much better for me; build it
and then recompile php by including --with-imap=../imap-2000c in your
configure args.

No need to do
that export and ldconfig thing.

all my imap php programs refused to work and even
the mtest bundled with the WU-Imap refused to connect to my Cyrus Imapd.
but the Imap-2000c works. and even the mtest program works!

step:
1. export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/imap"
2. export
LDFLAGS=-lc-client
3. ./configure --enable-versioning
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local
--enable-tracks-vars --with-imap --with-xml --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr
--with-kerberos --with-openssl
4. make
5. make install

I have found the order in which you connect to you POP server with IMAP
2000 and your database with PostgreSQL 7.1.2 can cause
problems.
Make sure that you connect first to your POP server
then get your db connection. This will prevent you from getting an invalid
stream from imap_open().

Compiling in IMAP support.
I recently successfully compiled in
IMAP support for PHP4.0.6 statically compiled into apache on my FreeBSD4.3
box. I did this using the most recent version of c-client(2001a/RC2).
Originally I got loads of "call to undefined....blahblah"
errors.
The solution was this:
d/l, configure, and make the
c-client library. (you do not need to make install)
Create 2
directories under the c-client subdirectory, lib/ and
include/.
Copy c-client.a into lib and rename it to
libc-client4.a.
Copy rfc822.h, mail.h, and linkage.h into
include/.
Configure PHP with the path to the c-client subdir in
the imap option (--with-imap=/tmp/dircreatedbyuntar/c-client).
make and make install for php.
After this, the
configure and make for apache went normally.
This worked fine for
me on my BSD box, I assume that it would work in Linux as well, though I
am not familliar enough with it to say for sure

I just found something a bit bizarre. I was having problems with the pages
taking too long to load (15-20sec) when they opened an imap connection. I
was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was
wrong.
Turns out it was quite simple. I was letting it default
to 143 for the port. When i specified the port number (i.e.
{localhost:143} rather than {localhost} ) It reduced page load time to a
few seconds.

How to build PHP for IMAP support on FreeBSD-4.2+:
1. Update your
ports tree. (Read the Handbook if you don't know how)
2. pkg_delete
cclient (pkg_info for the complete name). Perhaps you have to remove pine
aswell, as it requires cclient.
3. cd /usr/ports/mail/cclient; make
install
3.1 cd /usr/ports/mail/pine; make install (if you removed pine
earlier)
4. Copy c-client.a from
/usr/ports/mail/cclient/work/imap-2001a/c-client/c-client.a to
/usr/local/lib
5. cd php-dir; ./configure [your options]
--with-imap=/usr/local --with-apache=[apache dir]
6. make
install
7. cd [apache dir]
8. config, make
9. Done.

Apache version:
1.3.22
After reading the notes here and bangind my head against
the wall a bit, I found that all I needed to do was remove
/usr/lib/libc-client.so.* in order to get apache's configure to work.

For IMAP installation on cobalt RAQ4:
cp c-client.a /usr/lib cp
rfc822.h mail.h linkage.h /usr/include
This should also work for
Red Hat. The example given above doesnt work for me.

Here�s how I installed php4.1.1 with mysql and imap support for apache
1.3.19. I hope it help you.
I used: ./configure
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-imap
--with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl
and it worked fine but i got this
error during make:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find
-lgssapi_krb5 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: ***
[libphp4.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/tars/php-4.1.1' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 When
exporting env vars (export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5
-lgssapi_krb5 -lpam") i get: checking whether the C compiler (gcc
-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5 -lgssapi_krb5 -lpam) works...
no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C
compiler cannot create executables.
Obviously, this didn�t work, I
simply installed krb5-devel and reinstalled without exporting the env
var.
This allowed me to compile successfully, but when I started
apache I got
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into
server: undefined symbol:pam_end
I checked to make sure the
libraries were linked properly:
The cause for this was not having
libpam_devel installed. Make sure that if you clear config.cache and run
make clean after configure.
Install krb5-devel Install libpam
�devel ldconfig ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-mysql --with-imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl
make
clean make make install
if you come into any other errors,
try installing the devel packages and recompiling don�t forget to remove
config.cache before each compile attempt.

I have downloaded IMAP webmail and tried to install it. My configuration is
Slackware 8 with Apache 1.3.20. Webmail require PHP 4.1.1 so I download it
and compile with options: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs
--enable- trans-sid --with-gettext --with-imap=/usr/local/lib
--with-imap-ssl=/usr/local/lib I use c-client from imap-2001a and have
libc-client.a in /usr/locla/lib. When I tried to run Webmail I always
got error " TLS/SSL failure for localhost: SSL negotiation
failed". I note that there is no request to IMAP server, so the
problems is in the c-client itself. After a few hours tests and many
READMEs I found in c-client documentation that the correct url for IMAP
connection is {imapserver:143/notls}INBOX /notls is to disable TLS
connection. Hope this will help someone and save him/her a lot of time
and headache :)

I was going crazy trying to get PHP 4.2.1 to work with the imap-2001a
c-client in RH-7.2.
The problem was the instructions provided by
PHP. Do NOT copy c-client/*.h to /usr/local/include! Make will crash when
it tries to include unix.h. Instead, only copy the following: cp
c-client.a /usr/local/lib cp rfc822.h mail.h linkage.h
/usr/local/include
This was what the old instructions for this
said, but someone revised them in the last month or so.
I used the
shared module install instructions found here, compiled mcrypt and imap
(with ssl support), and then used the following for
configure:
--enable-dbase --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-zlib
--enable-ftp --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib --enable-trans-sid
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-imap --with-kerberos
--with-imap-ssl

please don't copy the .h files in the system include directory! the unix.h
file from the washington.edu c-client conflicts with another file called
unix.h make a dir called "imap" in either /usr/include or
/usr/local/include or whatever you wish, copy the header files there and
the .a file prefix'ish in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib or whatever you used
for the include files. then tell configure with --with-imap=/usr the
"prefix" of your installation. then works without problem ;)

I just installed c-client from imap-2002.DEV.SNAP-0205241716. To make it
work on my GNU/Linux system (2.4 kernel, glibc 2.2.5), I had to edit the
imap source.
In the file src/osdep/unix/tcp_unix.c, I changed the
function tcp_socket_open to run getprotobyname("tcp") instead of
"ip".
Suddenly I was able to make IMP work for the first
time in several months. :)

RH7.2, PHP 4.2.1, Apache 2.0.36. Installed all "whistles"
required - pam-dev, kerberos, ssl, copied .h and .a files, still was
having "unable to load libphp4.so, undefined pam_end". What I
changed in my ./configure - got rid of "--with-openssl", on my
humble opinion Apache needs to be configured with ssl support, otherwise
it will swear at you as it did at me :). After that everything went ok.

Suse 8.0 for Intel, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.1, Mod_ssl, et al... The note
from the Debian guy was the answer. I discovered two things: #1. You
have to specify BOTH --with-imap AND --with-imap-ssl - NOT JUST the ssl
one! #2. You have to remove or rename /usr/lib/libc-client.so so it
uses the static version. Those two things solved it for me!

On Solaris 8, php mistakenly sets unix.h to yes. This is due to configure
getting confused about whether 'cc' is available. setenv CC gcc; Will
fix this.

I needed imap support, and most configurations of php say that imap2001a
has ssl, so you need to use --with-imap-ssl or --with-kerberos. But after
getting a nasty error in apachectl start like: undefined symbol:
ssl_onceonlyinit, or something, this is what I did:
1. NOT use
--with-imap-ssl (sorry if you need this, I have no idea how to make this
option work) 2. use --with-imap=DIR, where DIR has all of
these:
include/c-client.h include/env.h include/env_unix.h include/fs.h include/ftl.h include/imap4r1.h include/linkage.h include/mail.h include/misc.h include/nl.h include/nntp.h include/os_slx.h include/osdep.h
->
os_slx.h include/rfc822.h include/smtp.h include/tcp.h
lib/c-client.a lib/libc-client.a
-> c-client.a
[ just in case, one.a -> two.a is a link,
created with "ln -s two.a one.a" ]
3. remove
/path/to/php-inst/config.cache 4. remove
/path/to/apache/libexec/libphp4.so 5. do /path/to/php-inst/make
clean
then configure, make and make
install
Cheers!

[your options] --with-imap=/usr/local 07) make 08) apachectl
stop 09) make install 10) apachectl start
You should be good
to go now. Aren't you glad I've screwed with this for the past few
months off and on trying to make it work now. :)

Installing on a FreeBSD 4.4 box with Apache:
Do this if you DO have
cclient-200x installed already (installed if you have PINE, etc.
setup). Use pkg_info to see if it's already there.
1)
./configure [your options] --with-imap 2) make 3) apachectl
stop 4) make install 5) apachectl start
You should be good to
go now. :)

There's a solution to the Apache loading error:
/usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol
"ssl_onceonlyinit"
In this case you have to recompile the
cclient package with SSL support. So, for FreeBSD users:
#
pkg_delete [-f] cclient-2001a,1 # cd /usr/ports/mail/cclient/ #
make clean # make install -D WITH_SSL
After that Apache, PHP
and IMAP+SSL should work correctly.

I just got PHP 4.2.3 installed with IMAP support. My problem was
pam_start/pam_end. Just compile c-client (doesn�t matter which version,
I have imap-2002.RC2) without PAM support (e.g. make slx
SSLTYPE=unix). You don�t need to run make install just create lib and
include in c-client directory. Then run PHP configure
--with-imap=/path/to/the/c-client-dir and --with-imap-ssl. Works great
for me. Hope this helps...

Red Hat 7.2 Users: I had a tough time getting IMAP to work, even though
compilation worked without errors, and function calls appeared to be
recognized, though I could never get a POP3 connection!
There's an
unreported error in IMAP... In order to use POP3 and RH's IMAP function,
you have to pass a URL like this:
'{mail.server.com:110/pop3/novalidate-cert}INBOX'
Getting
PHP 4.2.3+IMAP using the IMAP RPMs:
1) Make sure you have
imap-devel RPM loaded.
2) Compile PHP with "--with-imap=/usr
--with-imap-ssl --with-kerberos". No need to copy c-client files. You
might be able to get away with just "--with-imap --with-imap-ssl
--with-kerberos".
3) Use the above mangled address with the
"/novalidate-cert" suffix.
Now, given the above, why
isn't there a value in php.ini to toggle this behavior, and why is there
NO documentation that this is required?

I searched for a few hours, and finally gave up looking for a way to get
the acl on a mailbox w/a single imap function.
I have come up with
three solutions:
1. telnet into your imap server (localhost:143)
using fsockopen and use the "GETACL" command to get the acl on
the mailbox you want.
2. telnet into your shell(localhost) using
fsockopen, open cyradm and get the acl that way.
3. Wait for 4.3 to
be released, and use proc_open to control cyradm w/o the telnetting
thing.
If anyone has a better method, please do enlighten me.

A note to Windows users: if PHP complains about undefined functions, but
you have downloaded the many-extension version of PHP and therefore have
php_imap.dll in your extensions folder, you can load it using
dl('php_imap.dll'); See the dl() function for details.

When I tried to compile the imap-2002 libraries into php (using
--with-imap-ssl & --with-imap) the ./configure dit not complain, but
the make moaned about a lack of flocksim.h . Copying this across from
imap-2002/c-client to /usr/local/include fixed this.

Beware! If you are trying to make a connection with POP3 mailbox,then
some of IMAP functions will not work correctly as you might expecting
.This is because the difference of workings in POP3 and IMAP
protocols. These functions work correctly for IMAP mailboxes but some
of the fnctions will return nothing, when connected to a POP3
mailbox.(even no error message).

bleh! I was getting errors! here's how I fixed it.
ps I'm using
redhat8.0 with apache2.0
when using: imap_open
("{localhost:143}INBOX", "user",
"pass");
I recieved: Warning: Couldn't open stream
{localhost:143}INBOX
This is because of TLS, I think it was on by
default starting with RH7.3. Anyway do fix this you have to
use:
imap_open ("{localhost:143/notls}INBOX",
"user", "pass");
Theres already a not similar
to this, but I hope this broadens your perception of what's going on.
(probably not)

I'm tried to install various version of c-client and the most does not work
because it have some bugs and need unconventional patch.
I resolve
my problem when i try to install this version of c-client:
It
works without any patch.

I followed the install instructions at the top of this page
exactly. It works perfect first time on my Debian 3 box. There's a
lot of comments on how to install PHP with IMAP but all I know is the
instructions at the top of the page work for me Cheers

How can I do if I have multi mime headers? By
example:
Content-Type: multipart/related;
type="multipart/alternative"; or:
Content-Type:
multipart/mixed;
type="multipart/alternative";
or both methods: nested and
multi mime headers:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="147147"
--147147 Content-Type:
multipart/related; type="multipart/alternative";
boundary="247247"
These headers are used when you need
attach files and insert files in a body into mime mails.
