Again: PHP4 and IMAP: Bug?

Hi, I'm growing rather desperate about this issue that's been causing me several sleepless nights already. All I want is to be able to use IMAP to access POP3 mailboxes with PHP4 (4..0.5). I had no trouble compiling both imap and PHP4, and actually I also compiled PHP3 with the same IMAP library. My little test script (see below) works fine on PHP3, but on PHP4 I get the following message(s), being the first the most relevant one: Warning: Couldn't open stream {mail.host.tld/pop3:110}INBOX in /usr/data/htdocs/intranet/mail.php on line 6 Warning: Unable to find stream pointer in /usr/data/htdocs/intranet/mail.php on line 7 Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /usr/data/htdocs/intranet/mail.php on line 8 Warning: Unable to find stream pointer in /usr/data/htdocs/intranet/mail.php on line 10 The code is ok, as far as I can tell (and I'm not a newbie anymore): <html> <head><title>Mail Test</title></head> <body> <?php $host = "mail.host.tld/pop3"; $mbox = imap_open ("\{$host:110}INBOX", "test", "test"); $aHeaders = imap_headers( $mbox ); while( list( $Key, $Val ) = each( $aHeaders ) ) echo $Val . "<br>"; imap_close( $mbox ); ?> </body> </html> The $host in the imap_open line has already been replaced by the literal string, I have left out the \ before the {, everything in vain. I use apache 1.3.20, PHP 4.0.5, the IMAP snapshot from a couple of days ago and I configured PHP like this: './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-gd=yes' '--with-xpm-dir' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with- ttf=/usr/src/freetype-1.3.1' '--with-zlib' '--with-xml' '--with-ftp' '--with-mcal=../libmcal' '--with-imap' '--with- sybase=/opt/sybase-11.9.2' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local' '--with-mhash' '--with-config-file- path=/etc/httpd/conf' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-track-vars' according to phpinfo(). I tried to track down the problem by inserting messages in various PHP and IMAP source code places. I couldn't get beyond the call to tcp_open in IMAP's mail_open function. It seems that this tcp_open is not being called by PHP4, while PHP3 calls it perfectly. I think maybe the tcp driver is not loaded, or so. The pop3 driver seems to be ok. I really don't know, I'm just speculating here. But what could be the problem? Is there anything I may have missed during configure and compile of PHP4 that differs from the PHP3 procedure? Please, you PHP makers out there, try to help me. I would really appreciate this. If I can't solve this problem, I can't port my project to PHP4. Thanks in advance, Greetings, Michael Heumann. ######################################################### # Michael Heumann # S&I Chile - Software e Informatica Limitada # Arlegui 440, Of. 403, Viña del Mar, Chile # Fonofax: (56)(32) 710833 # Email: mheumann@softwareinformatica.cl # Web: http://www.softwareinformatica.cl #########################################################
