Fatal error Call to undefined function imap open in PHP

0 votes

I am trying to access my gmail account through my localhost. However, I am getting the response:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open()

This is my code:

$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = 'myid@gmail.com';
$password = 'mypassword';

/* try to connect */
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' .imap_last_error());

Hello @kartik,

In Ubuntu for install imap use

sudo apt-get install php-imap

Ubuntu 14.04 and above use

sudo apt-get install php5-imap

And imap by default not enabled by PHP so use this command to enable imap extension

sudo php5enmod imap

Then restart your Apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Hope it helps!!
