dear friends

I am running php on IIS 5.0 .

In order to use imap functions i have to use php_imap.dll.

the problems are :

a)whre i should put this dll? In the c:/winnt or c:/winnt/system32 folder? or in the "extentions" directory under the c:/php directory(which does not exist untill now).

b)What should be the value of extention_dir variable in the php.ini file?

c)What else to be done?


Thanx in advance
Ashish

Just leave it as it is and just load extension.

Code: Select all

extension=php_imap.dll

Problem again.....

hi,

I think you can copy it to: c:\winnt\system32

And update php.ini to read from this path like:
extention_dir = c:\winnt\system32
if above don't work, try with last slash also, like:
extention_dir = c:\winnt\system32\

I think, the DLLs can be copyed into any path; provided that the "extention_dir" points to that path...
