note 48390 added to function.imap-open

$mbox = imap_open('{localhost:143/imap/notls}', 'teka', 'my_password', OP_HALFOPEN); i have a problem with my password. since i'm using "special" character (like []{}_?,;.) imap_open won't work. Maybe i have to encode my password to something but utf8, utf7 don't seem to work... So what's the solution? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48390 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48390&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48390&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48390&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48390&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48390&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48390&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48390&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
