Reported By: oliver dot block at lycos dot de
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: IMAP related
Operating System: Unix
PHP Version: 5.1.2
New Comment:
I don't know, if I do understand you correctly. You mean
the c-client library returns that (wrong) data?
What about the data in imap_rcf822_parse_headers?

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
The function what the imap library returns, PHP has nothing
with how the data is parsed internally.

imap_rfc822_parse_headers does deliver the correct _from_
field.

Description:
------------
When someone send mail with multiple from-header containing mulitple
mailboxes, for example:
From: name1 <mbox1@hotmail.com>, name2 <mbox2@yahoo.com>, name3
<mbox3@web.de>
the function imap_header() (maybe others too) should keep this edresses
in the from-field.
Unfortunately the imap_function does not keep this data in the
from-field, but in the _sender_ field.
The same is applicable to fromaddress and senderaddress fields!
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$stream = imap_open($server,$username,$password);
$header = imap_header($stream, $msgno);
// $msgno is a valid message no to a message with multiple mailboxes in
'From:' header field
print "<html><head><head><body><pre>";
print_r($header);
print "</pre></body></html>";
imap_close($stream);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
[from] => Array
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[personal] => name1
[mailbox] => mbox1
[host] => hotmail.com
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[personal] => name2
[mailbox] => mbox2
[host] => yahoo.com
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[personal] => name3
[mailbox] => mbox3
[host] => web.de
)
Actual result:
--------------
[sender] => Array
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[personal] => name1
[mailbox] => mbox1
[host] => hotmail.com
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[personal] => name2
[mailbox] => mbox2
[host] => yahoo.com
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[personal] => name3
[mailbox] => mbox3
[host] => web.de
)
