error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature - PHP Compilation error

Error:

error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature, but U8T_CANONICAL is missing. This should not happen. Check config.log for additional information.


Solution:

If you get the above error message when trying to compile php with imap module, you need to install the imap-2007f package first. You can use the following script to install imap-2007f package.
Once you installed imap using the following script, you can compile php with imap by using the following options.

--with-imap=/usr/local/src/imap-2007f --with-imap-ssl

***If you are using php5.1 or earlier versions, you have to use, the following package
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/old/imap-2004g.tar.Z

Copy the following script in imap-php.sh file, then

[root@vps [~]# chmod +x imap-php.sh

[root@vps [~]# sh imap-php.sh
