IMAP
To get imap support in PHP on your Mac, you need to get the php_imap module compiled for your version of PHP. I have attached mine to this to save you the effort, but this wiki article can remain for reference.
Firstly, you need to download the Client-c code. This is a library that allows various applications to communicate with IMAP servers. PHP being one of them.
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap-2007e.tar.gz
Save it into your downloads folder, and once finished, extract it. If you are using Terminal, you can do the above with the following commands: (NB, do all this in sudo)
cd ~/Downloads curl -o imap.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap-2007e.tar.gz tar -zxvf imap.tar.gz
Then we need to compile it, and copy all the C files to the right places.
cd imap-2007e/ make osx EXTRACFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" mkdir /usr/local/include cp c-client/*.h /usr/local/include/ mkdir /usr/local/lib cp c-client/*.c /usr/local/lib/ cp c-client/c-client.a /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a
Now we need the version of PHP we need. To find out what version you are running, run this in a Terminal window:
php -v
That’ll tell you which version you need. Replace the curl address below with the relavant version from the php.net website.
cd ~/Downloads curl -o php.tar.gz http://uk.php.net/distributions/php-x-x-x.tar.gz tar -zxvf php.tar.gz
Once that is all extracted, we need to compile PHP:
cd php-x.x.x/ sudo ./configure sudo make
Once that’s done we can go to the imap extension folder and compile that extension. There are more extensions in the file structure, but for now, we just need the imap one:
cd php-x.x.x/ext/imap phpize CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" ./configure --with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2007 --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl=/usr/ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
That should create a nice little imap.so file in the modules folder:
/Users/chris/Downloads/php-x.x.x/ext/imap/modules/imap.so
This file needs copying to the extensions folder on your PC. So you need to find the right folder. Mine was:
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/
So, I copied the file there:
cp imap.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/
And then all we need to do is edit the php.ini file, to load the extension:
nano /etc/php.ini
Scroll down to the extensions bit, and add it in, mine would be like:
extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imap.so
Then reboot Apache
apachectl restart
That should be it.
Next, php_mssql (if required)
MSSQL
The process is really very similar to what we just did for imap, but we do need to install freetds which is a mssql thing
Create the directory /usr/local/freetds
Download the latest version of freetds (http://www.freetds.org/software.html)
Open a terminal window
Untar/zip the freetds file and cd into that directory in terminal
Run the following to compile the extension
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --sysconfdir=/usr/local/freetds/conf/freetds --disable-libiconv --disable-odbc make sudo make install
Find the PHP source code from earlier, and go to the correct folder:
cd /Users/chris/Downloads/php-x.x.x./ext/mssql/ sudo phpize sudo ./configure --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds sudo make
Now its the same as the imap section. Find the mssql.so file in the ext/mssql/modules/mssql.so and copy it to the extensions folder.
cp mssql.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/
And then all we need to do is edit the php.ini file, to load the extension:
nano /etc/php.ini
Scroll down to the extensions bit, and add it in, mine would be like:
extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mssql.so
Then reboot Apache
apachectl restart
And that should work now. Create a page with a simple echo phpinfo() and that should confirm the fact.
Trying to get iMap support on my OS X Yosemite machine is driving me crazy. Using these instructions has me closer than anything else I’ve tried, but this command:
./configure –with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2007 –with-kerberos –with-imap-ssl=/usr/
is giving the following error:
configure: error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature, but U8T_CANONICAL is missing. This should not happen. Check config.log for additional information.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Afraid I use a Linux vagrant VM for my development so I’ve not had to worry about this for some time. I’ve also not taken the leap to Yosemite yet. I find that it’s wise to wait a few weeks after release!
I’ll have a look for you tomorrow though. Have you checked the log? What’s in there?
PHP isn’t really an area of expertise for me. Nor are the different commands I’ve been running in Terminal to try to get this to work – I’m just copying commands I find on the web! That being the case, the log didn’t help me much. Here are the log contents:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure –with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2007 –with-kerberos –with-imap-ssl=/usr/

Thanks.
Did you use to have homebrew (http://brew.sh/) installed on your Mac? Perhaps Yosemite removed it? Try installing it again, and then install php with:
brew install php55 --with-fpm --with-imap --without-apache --with-debugI don’t know anything about homebrew but I do recall a proposed fix yesterday that called for it and it wasn’t found on my Mac. I installed it using the link you provided and ran ‘brew install…’ but it displayed an error:
Error: No available formula for php55
Try php56, sorry not tried it for a while
Still not working. Thanks very much for your help, but I give up. Getting much too old for this s***.
This is the main reason I switched to using a Vagrant headless VM for development work. Linux is so much easier to install the necessary PHP extensions I require. I would suggest you take a look if you are into development. http://www.vagrantup.com
Thanks for this old but still useful guide, with just some minor adjustments, it worked perfectly for Mac OS Yosemite!
I knew there was a new version of the imap library, so I downloaded version 2007f instead of 2007e. You also forgot to make after configure so that the .so file is created.
Greetings.
Pretty sure it states to do a make… But thanks anyway
Camilo, please share what minor adjustments you did… I’m trying to install IMAP on my Yosemite, PHP v- 5.5.14 but at some point, I got stuck… mainly when we have to relocate the “.so” file to the extensions… simply I cant find it… please help!
