    Hi,
    I am running ispconfig 3.1 on ubuntu 14.04 with nginx as web server.

    I have some php code that needs to collect emails from another mail server (not on the same server as ispconfig).
    the code is:
    $inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to mail server: ' . imap_last_error());

    When I execute the script I get the following error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open() in /var/www/clients/...
    phpinfo() doesn't show that the imap extension is loaded, so the error makes sense.
    My question is, how can I load the php imap extension so I can use it on the script.

    Thanks!

    It should be enough to install the php imap package with apt and then restart php-fpm daemon.

    Thanks Till.
    When I try to install I get :
    root@xxx:~$ sudo apt-get install php5-imap
    [sudo] password for root:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    php5-imap is already the newest version.

    It still doesn't show up under the phpinfo().
    Is there anything else I need to do, or somewhere else I can look at?

    Restart php-fpm and nginx.
