I need to install php-imap on amazon ec2 linux 2 instance. All the php stuff is inside amzn2extra-lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2 but php-imap package is missing. Any advice ?
Thanks
I installed it like this.
I downloaded the php source code of the currently installed version in my Amazon Linux 2
wget http://php.net/get/php-7.2.8.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror
Unpacked it and went into php-7.2.8/ext/imap/
Compiled extension:
phpize
./configure
I got some errors.
Some U8T_CANONICAL stuff so
sudo yum install libc-client-devel
Then libc-client.a not found so created a symlink for it:
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libc-client.a
some other imap library error so:
sudo yum install uw-imap-static
I got some other errors so the working configure line was:
./configure --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl
make
SUCCESS!
cd php-7.2.8/ext/imap/modules
sudo cp imap.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/
Created an ini file to load it:
sudo vi /etc/php.d/30-imap.ini
added to the file this content:
extension=imap
restarted php service (you might need to restart httpd depending on your php installation):
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
PHPinfo now contains: imap IMAP c-Client Version 2007f SSL Support enabled Kerberos Support enabled
