These functions are not limited to the IMAP protocol, despite their
name. The underlying c-client library also supports
NNTP, POP3 and local mailbox access
methods.
This extension requires the c-client library to be
installed. Grab the latest version from
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ and compile
it.
It's important that you do not copy the IMAP
source files directly into the system include directory
as there may be conflicts. Instead, create a new
directory inside the system include directory, such as
/usr/local/imap-2000b/
(location and name depend on your setup and IMAP
version), and inside this new directory create
additional directories named
lib/ and include/. From
the c-client directory from
your IMAP source tree, copy all the *.h files into
include/ and all the *.c
files into lib/. Additionally
when you compiled IMAP, a file named c-client-a was created. Also put this
in the lib/ directory but
rename it as
libc-client.a.
注: To build the c-client library with SSL or/and Kerberos support read the docs supplied with the package.
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.
注: Depending 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 into the PHP configure line.
以下的常數由此延伸定義, 只在這個延伸被編譯成PHP或實行時期被動態載入時有效。
