note 85649 added to book.imap

The reason the above pop3 functions are not documented anywhere is that you are supposed to use the imap_* functions to deal with pop3 servers as well. From the documentation for function imap_open(): ----- This function can also be used to open streams to POP3 and NNTP servers, but some functions and features are only available on IMAP servers. ----- Not sure if this applies only to apt package users, but the pop3_* functions aren't included at all. This is not clear from PHPs documentation unless you read the imap docs yourself, so its understandable if people miss it. The PHP team really should take all the PHP functions, sit down and map them all out, and then rename them using one single naming convention. They could keep the old names as aliases for bc. It really would help, but until & unless that happens, I will be more and mor drawn towards Python and its beautiful conventionally named classes and functions. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.128.110.128 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imap.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85649 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85649 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85649 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
