#21764 [Opn->Fbk]: imap_close does not close a a stream

ID: 21764 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: mikael.suvi@trigger.ee -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: IMAP related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-SMP PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I think this is expected though, and I dont really consider it as a bug. Try returning the resource by reference, or not using that global. Does it work then? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 02:45:07] mikael.suvi@trigger.ee Script: <? $MailStream = 0; function foo() { global $MailStream; $ar = imap_open("{some.host/pop3:110}", "user", "pass"); $MailStream = $ar; return $ar; } $arr = foo(); imap_close($arr); sleep(4); die(); ?> will not close my connection to mailserver when calling function imap_close. In mailserver log the following lines indicate that the stream is not closed: Jan 20 10:28:46 mail-fe73 pop3d: LOGIN, user=suurjuht, ip=[::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Jan 20 10:28:50 mail-fe73 pop3d: LOGOUT, user=suurjuht, ip=[::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], top=0, retr=0 Notice the 4 second delay when user is logged out. In closes the connection when script terminates. I guess the problem is when assigning the resource value to global variable the resources reference count is increased by one. When calling imap_close the reference value is checked and internal pop3_close is called only when reference count is 1. c-client version is 2001 I think this behaviour is not good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21764&edit=1
