[Resolved] Imap

[agudiel]

Strange problem... I have an IMAP server at $strServer IP that listens to $intPort.

I define a variable

$strTMP = "{".$strServer.":".$intPort."}".$strMailBox;

Then run

$resConn = imap_open($strTMP, $strUserName, $strPassWord);

If i run this script in MY PC connecting to my server SOMEPLACE ELSE and it works fine and i can read emal, attachments and all, BUT if i run this script FROM THE SERVER ITSELF i get the message:

Warning: Couldn't open stream... 😕

I've tried using the IP, the DNS name and "localhost" for $strServer and nothing...

Anyone please, help!

YOu need to make sure that the server has the IMAP extension enabled

I have the problem at the moment - my PC has it enabled but the server doesn't

Check it out using

phpinfo();

Trooper:

Thanx for such quick response...

I checked that using get_loaded_extensions() on the server and then made sure with get_extension_funcs('imap') and everything seems ok...

OK one of the imap functions available is

imap_errors

have a look at mine

$mbox = @imap_open ("{server_ip_address😛ORT}", "user_name", "password") or die("can't connect: ".imap_last_error());

As you can see i use it to spit out the error that is being generated

Ok it may not give you a nice easy error but an error message is better than no error message

Ok, i changed the code to

$strTMP = "{".$strServer.":".$intPort."}".$strMailBox;

print $strTMP."<hr>"; //Just for debugging...

$resConn = @imap_open($strTMP, $strUserName, $strPassWord) or die("can't connect: ".imap_last_error());

And it displays:

{SERVER_IP:143}INBOX

can't connect:

So i guess in my case i have the worse case scenario you described above! 🙁

Do you think it has anything to do to with the fact that i have ensim installed for the virtual servers?

By the way... what does the @ do?

Re: enism - no idea

@ Surpresses error messages - so they don't show- try removing it and see what ya get

[agudiel]

Ok, i removed the "@" and it gave me the error:

"Certificate failure for 66.135.32.40: self signed certificate: /C=--/ST=SomeState/L=SomeCity/O=SomeOrganization/OU=SomeOrganizationalUnit/CN=localhost.localdomain/Email=[e-mail]"

😕 😕

I have NO idea what this means...

trooper,

Thanx for your help, in the php manual "russell at flora dot ca" posted:

Note about "PHP Warning: Certificate failure"

I'm not sure if this is a RedHat, PHP, or IMAP library issue, but the default for SSL seems to have changed.

You now need to specify "/notls" when you don't want TLS, rather than only needing to specify "/ssl" when you do.

Example:

"{localhost:143}INBOX"

becomes:

"{localhost:143/notls}INBOX"

Thank you for your help. 😃
