Imap not working in cron, working in browser

[mmarif4u]

Hi all,
I have a script which i run by cron every 5 minutes. Script contains Imap function to grab mails from a window remote server. I am stuck here, because whenever i run it under cron it throw an error stating that:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open() in

But if i run the same script from a browser, it works and download the mails.

I did a test something like to see whether imap is loaded or not:

<?php



echo "<pre>".implode("\n",get_loaded_extensions())."</pre>";



dl("imap.so");

if (extension_loaded("imap")) echo "<pre>imap loaded</pre>";

else echo "<pre>imap not loaded</pre>";



?>

It shows that imap is loaded:

zip
xmlwriter
libxml
xml
wddx
tokenizer
sysvshm
sysvsem
sysvmsg
session
SimpleXML
sockets
soap
SPL
shmop

imap
mcrypt

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Dynamically loaded extensions aren't enabled in /var/www/pocslope/home/imap_load.php on line 5

imap loaded

Its a dedicated server running Ubuntu 8.04LTS server edition.
I tried to install C-client module, its installed already now. PHPinfo is showing that imap is installed with C-client 2004 module. Also installed php-cli but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks

extension must be loaded in php.ini
run script with phpinfo(), note php.ini location from it
and then edit

Thanks Shrapnel_N5,
Before reading your post here, what i did were:
I open php.ini on the server and search for "extension=imap.so"
which was there and not commented, so it mean it was enabled. Then i open conf.d directory and look for imap.ini which was not there.
So what i did:

extension = imap.so

And save the above line as a file named imap.ini and upload it to /etc/php5/conf.d directory and restart the server.
And the great thing is, it works.

Thanks again.
Hope, it will be helpful for some one in future.
