unable to load dynamic library 'php_imap.dll'

Please help!

I read the tutorial about IMAP at
http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/104

i tried to configure IMAP on windows
when i tested it like this <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
i got this error
"Unable to load dynamic library 'php_imap.dll' - A device attached to the system is not functioning"

It sounds like you don't have the dll file in your extensions directory. Download the PHP 4.3.0 zip package and extract the dll file to your php extensions directory. That should do it.

I'm having the same problem with installing imap. I get the following message in a popup window:

Unknown():Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_imap.dll' - The specified procecdure could not be found.

I get this message at the bottom of the page generated by phpinfo()

Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_imap.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

The dll is where it is looking. Are there any other dependencies that are causing this problem? I turned on almost all of the PHP extensions (left out obvious db ones) to see if maybe it needed another dll to run.

I'm using XP professional and IIS.

I am having the same problem:

Unknown():Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_imap.dll' - A device attached to the system is not functioning.

when I run php -m from a command prompt.

The dll is present in the location listed.

All I am trying to use are php_gettext.dll and php_imap.dll. The gettext extension works ok.

I am using Windows 98 SE.

Has anyone resolved this problem URL

What about trying to install Linux?

I'm having the same problem.
Anyone get this resolved?

hi. i have installed php in windows 98SE. it worked fine for me.

if you have the php_imap.dll in 'C:\PHP\extensions\' and it still doesnt work,
copy the php_imap.dll into c:\windows\system or c:\windows\system32
i hope this works for you

i also meet a same problem, iam using win98 as os.
my webserver is pws
anybody know whats happen?
pls help me to solve it, thanks

hi, i meet the same problem,may i know how you solve it, thanks

Hi. I fixed the problem by updating the file secur32.dll in C:\windows\system.

I had version 4.10.2222 (in Win98SE, of course). Got 4.10.2228 from http://www.ntu.edu.sg/ctools/instantmessaging/secur32dll/266772USA8.EXE

and now everything runs smoothly. I was "inspired" by http://www.appservnetwork.com/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=printpage;threadid=476

It wasn't impossible to make IMAP work in win98 after all....as many forums said.
Good luck. Bye.
