Bug #14969 Updated: IMAP_POPEN() not implemented !?!

ID: 14969 Comment by: kalle@ok.ee Reported By: kalle@ok.ee Status: Feedback Bug Type: IMAP related Operating System: linux-2.2.18 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Sorry, the machine from where i copied the error message was without IMAP support, but after adding i got the message you pasted. And about persistent connections, if it's something like *SQL persistent connects then i think i have an idea. It should work simething like "keep the connection open for some time and when same user/password combination comes use the old connection", right? Connecting to 5000+ mail mailbox takes some time (and server load) with authentication, if i could skip the authentication step on next connects then i'd be on a win ;) thanks for the answer anyway ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 11:27:07] hholzgra@php.net popen is implemented but disabled in the code as it isn't working well but you should get "Persistent IMAP connections are not yet supported." if you had the imap extension compiled in or loaded, "Call to undefined function" indicates that you have no imap support at all in your build PS: persistant connections in php might not be what you tink they are ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 10:40:52] kalle@ok.ee --- test.php --- <?

Pitty, i REALLY could use persistent connections to IMAP servers ;) really... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14969&edit=1
