FATAL ERROR : imap_open() undefined

[poor_schmuck]

Hello,

I have Lampp/Xampp for Linux (Fedora 9), v1.7.0 installed. It has PHP v5.2.8 running, and php.net says imap_open() was available as far back as PHP 4. Why then am I getting an error when I call imap_open(...) saying:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open() in (sourcefile)...

I should not require an XAMPP upgrade, for this, as I have a version of PHP running that should support this. How do I tell specifically why I'm getting this, and then how do I specifically fix it? I could not find this problem within the forums, under Linux, although a search revealed some imap_open() troubles elsewhere-- just not like this.

Please, please help this poor schmuck coder out

is there any imap extension commented in your php.ini?

In php.ini, at the top, it shows this:

In php.ini, under the 'IMAP' section, it shows this:

imap
IMAP c-Client Version 2004
SSL Support enabled

Those are the only two places it lists the term 'imap'.
