[PHP3] [PHP4] A shared c-client lib for the PHP build under Linux?

Forgive me if the answer to this question appears in this list or elsewhere on the net, but I haven't been able to find anything under various newsgroups and mailing list archives. I'm wanting to put IMAP support into php-4.0b4pl1 under my RedHat 5.x system. I have a recent (version 4.7) IMAP from U.W. which is working fine for me. However, PHP requires a shared c-client library, and I haven't been able to find a recipe for building one anywhere at U.W. nor under the various PHP resources I've investigated. Are there any patches for the U.W. IMAP implementation that anyone in the PHP world has been able to come up with that I could use for building a shared c-client? Are there doc's for this anywhere? I've already posted a query to the U.W. IMAP folks, and I'm trying here as well ... but also, I'm optimistic that someone here might already have solved this because, after all, PHP needs a shared c-client. Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
