Fix for win32 IMAP module not working

In responce to the problem myself and others have been having with using the imap4 module under win32, i did some searching into the source code of both the imap.c file and the imap cclient which it it based on. This problem was described in BUG reports #898 and #916. I discovered that what was happening was that when the php imap_open() function is called it calls the c-client.lib mail_open() function. This function then searches through the drivers specified in the php imap_init() function with the c-client mail_link(). Inside of here the first driver included in the windows verions is mbxdriver, and then it goes on to add others like the imap and pop3 ones. I believe there is a bug in the cclient mbxdriver implmentation which causes it to not gracefully exit when it comes accross a mailbox method it doesn't know how to use [for example when we call do a imap_open("{host}INBOX", $user, $pass) ]. If i comment out this line disabling the mbxdriver thus letting the imap one be the first one loaded, the module works fine (as far as i can tell). All I did was comment out one line (225) of code in the imap.c. Everything i did was based on the php-3.0.5.tar.gz tarball from the web site, not the CVS tree. Here is a diff of the changes 225c225 < mail_link (&mbxdriver); /* link in the mbox driver */ --- > /* mail_link (&mbxdriver);*/ /* link in the mbox driver */ If anyone wants to use the dll that i made for this its available at http://www.yadda.net/phpfix/php3_imap4r1.zip Don ----n03e9 Don Sutherland She's a Queen, She'll Breed, <dss@yadda.net> You'll die. - Alien: Resurrection Me: http://don.yadda.net Yadda Games: http://games.yadda.net -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
