wow, this one required some good research, going to earn my points this time.
here you go.
step one, yes un comment the php_imap.dll in the active php.ini file (mine is in \winnt) check phpinfo() for yours
here's the good one.
go into \winnt\system32 and make a copy of security.dll rename it secur32.dll
p.s. found you can see the installed modules from a command prompt with
cd\php
php -m
here are the 2 exact errors i get:
"The procedure entry point file_globals_id could not be located in the dynamic link library php4ts.dll"
and
"Unkown(): Unable to load dynamic library './php_imap.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found."
I have renamed security.dll like you said.
Theses 2 errors are the same no matter what I have tried so far.
Error:
you've just upgraded to php 4.3 and when you try to include extensions (either by uncommenting them in php.ini or by using dl("php_gd.dll") you get two errors. The first is a pop up box from Windows that says something like: "The prodecure entry point zend_list_find couldnt be located in the dynamic link library php4ts.dll"
<br>
The second is from your webserver/php and says "Unable to Load dynamic library 'c:\apache\php4\extensions
<br><br>
Reason for Error<br>
you are using old dlls that worked for the previous version of php but not for 4.3.
<br><br>
Solution:<br>
Easy enough - just copy all the dll files from the php 4.3 zip file you just downloaded (they're in the 'extensions' directory) and overwrite the dll files from your previous version of php.
<br>
seems simple, but this solution cost about 2 hours of my life.
Have to make sure to upgrade the php4ts.dll that the webserver loads .....grr it was in my webserver directory not php for some reason. but it works now...thanks

view your phpinfo() for the active paths and other settings. i'm not sure, but if it's correctly setup there may be a imap section.
<?php phpinfo() ?>
