Imap

[Mysteerie]

I have a php script that one of my clients is trying to use. Though for some reason the "imap" functions don't work...

for example: http://www.bihira.com/imap.php

It's giving me this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/bihira/public_html/imap.php on line 2

Would there be a security reason why this function is not enabled in php. How would I fix this also?

You need to compile it into PHP but if you do you may find issues with things like mcrypt and GD that are not compatible with Imap.

Thats what my take is on it from the forums. If anyone believes this to be wrong please let me know.

that's what I thought. I do that in apache build right? Also what does the mycrypt and GD do, and will it screw up the server, or screw up those?

You should really research those things over at http://www.php.net/

A person can't just simply explain GD and it's functions, it's quite a complicated http://us3.php.net/gd
