## Installation

## PHP 8.4

This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 8.4.0

Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://pecl.php.net/package/imap.

## PHP < 8.4

To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-imap[=DIR], where DIR is the c-client install prefix. From our example above, you would use --with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2000b. This location depends on where you created this directory according to the description above. Windows users may include the php_imap.dll DLL in php.ini.

> Note: Depending on how the c-client was configured, you might also need to add --with-imap-ssl=/path/to/openssl/ and/or --with-kerberos=/path/to/kerberos to the PHP configure line.

Warning

The IMAP extension is not thread-safe; it should not be used with ZTS builds.

Warning

The IMAP, recode and YAZ extensions cannot be used in conjunction, because they share the same internal symbols. Note: Yaz 2.0 and above does not suffer from this problem.
