Bug #51653 [NEW]: setting imap_timeout() too low can lock directories

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: IMAP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:setting imap_timeout() too low can lock directories Description: ------------ The following was placed at the top of a mailing list script, which logs into an account to check for messages, then repackages the message and sends it to the mailing list subscribers using the mail() function. imap_timeout(IMAP_OPENTIMEOUT, 2); imap_timeout(IMAP_READTIMEOUT, 2); imap_timeout(IMAP_WRITETIMEOUT, 2); imap_timeout(IMAP_CLOSETIMEOUT, 2); Later in the script, I call imap_open(), specifically using connection to {localhost:993/ssl/no-validate-cert} if this makes a difference, unsure. Periodically ran into an issue where the mail() call would simply stop returning true -- but for the directory the script is located in only. I set up a second script, that simply tests the mail() function -- I place it in the directory where the locked-up script is located and mail() returns false. Any other directory, mail() will return true. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51653&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51653&r=mysqlcfg
