Re: PHP Auth problem

If your code doesn't look like this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php you did it wrong. Replace the == test with your imap_open, but don't go re-arranging the if/else logic or the header() order. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
