Call to undefined function Webklex\IMAP\imap_open() - Mac OS

[FounderCasey]

Hello,

I have a Laravel 6 and PHP 7.4.1 project looking to incorporate Laravel IMAP.

I had some trouble installing the package, but finally got composer to install it. Now I am getting this error when trying to connect.

Call to undefined function Webklex\IMAP\imap_open()

I have read that this could be an issue with PHP not finding my IMAP extension.

When I run php -i | grep imap

Protocols:
Protocols => dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, ldaps, pop3, pop3s, rtmp, rtsp, scp, sftp, smb, smbs, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp

Full return:
Additional .ini files parsed => /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/conf.d/ext-imap.ini, Protocols => dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, ldaps, pop3, pop3s, rtmp, rtsp, scp, sftp, smb, smbs, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp imap imap.enable_insecure_rsh => Off => Off

Any pointers?

@Webklex Sorry, not sure I understand the reference... New to php and I am unable to find any info. Is there something I should change?

[Webklex]

Hi @FounderCasey ,
please give the current master version a try :)

[FounderCasey]

@Webklex I went ahead and tried that but the error just changed to

Call to undefined function imap_open() instead of Call to undefined function Webklex\IMAP\imap_open()

Please check the output of php_info(). The php-imap module might not be enabled on your Webserver? Yes I know your cli does say its installed but your apache or nginx has its own config (php.ini).

This is all I could find in regards to an actual config file for Nginx... This must be my set up.

In phpinfo() - my server-software shows nginx/1.17.7

$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']	nginx/1.17.7

[Webklex]

I did some more research.
I've never used nginx but it seems like you have to use php-fpm as an intermediate proxy to use any php module.

sudo apt-get install php5-imap
sudo php5enmod imap 
service php5-fpm restart
sudo service nginx restart

Still nothing... Well, this sucks. Been a week now and I have yet to find a fix.

Thank you for your responsiveness and effort to help!

@Webklex I factory reset my workspace and I found out that all the requirements except for php-imap come in brew install php, the latest version(7.4.2). First try, everything works great.

I am not sure where I went wrong, I believe it was because I had different .ini files and I had no clue where they were. Lots of random errors here and there.

Again, thank you for your help and this package!
