Bug #18282 Updated: imap_open return doesn't return FALSE when mailbox doesn't exist

ID: 18282 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: valerio@dei.unipd.it -Status: Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: IMAP related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Your 'workaround' really is the correct way to do it.. In your test script, the connection is established, just the mailbox select fails. Try add this right after the imap_open() line: echo imap_last_error(); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-12 04:22:25] valerio@dei.unipd.it This script output nothing (I mean _nothing_) when mailbox with name "this_file_doesnt_exist" isn't there. <?php print "BEFORE IMAP_OPEN<br>"; $my_stream=imap_open("{localhost:143}this_file_doesnt_exist","realusername", "rightpassword",OP_READONLY); if ($my_stream) { /* uncomment me if you want to see $my_stream value */ /*print $my_stream; */ $barney=imap_fetchbody($my_stream,1,"1"); print $barney; imap_close($my_stream); } print "AFTER IMAP_OPEN<br>"; ?> My current workaround is a imap_open("{localhost:143}",...,OP_HALFOPEN), imap_listmailbox and comparison on all values to check the existence of a particular mailbox name before opening it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-11 14:21:35] sniper@php.net Please give us a short but complete example script which can be used to reproduce this.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-11 14:12:23] valerio@dei.unipd.it imap_open($server_strings.$mailbox, $username,$passwd,$options) should return FALSE when username/password are correct but mailbox doesn't exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18282&edit=1
