#40205 [NEW]: can't get the real Imap username if logged in with an alias

From: jekyll at home dot nl Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: can't get the real Imap username if logged in with an alias Description: ------------ Our Lotus Notes imap server allows login aliases for mailboxes. For me, those are: Jakko Verhallen/SiTel Jakko Verhallen verhallen I use the imap protocol to make a signup webpage for personnel activities. However, this way, I can sign up 3 times. There is no way to get the real name from the imap mailbox. I don't think that there is a way to retrieve your email address too. The only thing I can do right now is to force people to login using there email address as username, and cut off the domain part... It would be have something like imap_username() or something... Reproduce code: --------------- ... Expected result: ---------------- Get the full user name or email address Actual result: -------------- not possible??? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40205&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40205&r=mysqlcfg
