For CentOS
If you are using PHP 7.2, run this:
--------------------------------------
yum install sclo-php72-php-imap
--------------------------------------
Then restart Apache with this:
---------------------------
systemctl restart httpd
---------------------------
Ubuntu 18.04
sudo apt-get install php-imap
On Ubuntu 14.04+, you need to first install with apt-get:
apt-get install php5-imap
However it's not enabled by default so enable it with:
php5enmod imap
For Fedora 20
===========
Install php-imap:
sudo yum install php-imap
Then restart httpd :
sudo service httpd restart
This applies to SUSE Linux
When I did "php -m" at the bash prompt, imap WAS listed as installed, however the results of <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> DID NOT have imap anywhere? All the *.ini files were processed from the \etc\php5\conf.d directory EXCEPT the imap.ini file.
I fixed this by adding to the file \etc\php5\apache2\php.ini the line:
extension=imap.so
... even though a file called imap.ini contained that same entry in \etc\php5\conf.d?
Explicitly entering the extension=imap.so in the php5.ini file fixed - you do have to restart PHP (reboot) after making the entry....
All is well now.
In ArchLinux, a php package provides this module, but it is disabled by default.
Simply uncomment a line (remove semicolon) in /etc/php/php.ini:
;extension=imap.so
to
extension=imap.so
and then, restart PHP.
In CentOS:
yum install php-imap
Works like a charm!
On Gentoo:
edit /etc/make.conf and include imap to the USE flags,
then run
emerge php
For rhel4 add the libc-client-devel package
apt-get install php5-imap
Works well also.... Enjoy
To install the IMAP module on Red Hat Linux Enterprise 4 (RHEL4):
- Open a terminal window
- If you're not root, become root with su
- type:
RPM -i php-imap
(RPM will download, install and resolve dependencies)
- restart your web server with:
service httpd restart
I hope this helps newbies (like me).
