Bug #16562 Updated: imap_open does not open port after PHP upgrade

ID: 16562 Updated by: php.net@actionweb.com Reported By: php.net@actionweb.com -Status: Closed +Status: Open Bug Type: IMAP related Operating System: RedHat 6.x PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Additional note: I did some more experimenting and it turns out that the current PHP does NOT have a problem with this syntax: imap_open("{hostname/pop3:110}INBOX", "userid", "password") ...which is the same syntax NOCC v.9.2 used with the exception that "pop3" is lower case. In summary, in previous versions of imap_open() the protocol specifier was not case sensitive. Now it is. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-12 12:52:07] mfischer@php.net Actually it's the imap library whose syntax did change, not PHP itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-12 12:23:53] php.net@actionweb.com I thought I'd tried that already, but there must have been something else wrong when I did, because that fixed it. Thanks. :-) Side note... the reason I was trying it that way is because that's how NOCC v.0.92 (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/nocc/ )was successfully doing it. I guess the syntax for imap_open isn't as flexible as it used to be. My guess is that they've fixed NOCC in later versions and that's why no one else seems to be having this problem. It's always a bummer when something that worked in a previous version of PHP stops working in the current one. But, as it stands, I guess that's not PHP's problem... this is a NOCC bug. Unfortunately, I've got to go track down dozens of old NOCC installations (on lots of different servers) and fix the syntax to the way the current PHP wants to see it. :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-12 10:44:18] sniper@php.net What if you use this instead: $mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX", "user_id", "password"); (straight from the manual) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-11 23:29:07] php.net@actionweb.com After upgrading to PHP 4.1.2 from 4.0.4pl1 and doing this: imap_open("{hostname/POP3:110}INBOX", "userid", "password") ...simply returns "Couldn't open stream" when trying to talk to POP3/110. I checked tcpdump and I see nothing happening on port 110. Switching back to 4.0.4pl1 fixes the problem. Tried installing the latest c-client and still nothing. Seems something about imap_open has been broken in this version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16562&edit=1
