Suppose to be a simple class to connect to a POP3 account, but no info is displayed. How should i implement it?

<?php

class Pop3 {
	var $user;
	var $pass;
	var $Socket;				// the current socket
	var $Line;
	var $Status;
	var $Banner;

function Pop3($Server = "localhost",$Port = 110)
{    
	return $this->pop3_open($Server, $Port);
}

# This will handle the connection process for you, just feed it the
# information it needs. It will default to APOP secure connection but
# fall back to plain text if that doesn't work.  WARNING: some servers
# will kick you out after one failed attempt so after the failed APOP
# authentication, you'll be kicked out, and this will fail, disable
# APOP authentication if this is the case, and APOP doesn't work.

You're not seeing your error messages because that code has two methods/functions called Pop3. It's not executing your script because of an error.

While testing/debugging this, make sure you have error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of your script so you can see all of PHP's errors/warnings/notices. Also, I assume you have display_errors on in the php.ini file. Otherwise, set it using ini_set('display_errors', '1'); at the top of your script too.

Your constructor should not "return" anything since PHP will always return an object.

Perhaps try using these IMAP functions which work for POP3 too:

hth.
