stdClass problem

[webmasternovis]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a script that will read mail from the server, and have the following code:

<?php

$MAILSERVER="{localhost/imap}";
$link=imap_open($MAILSERVER,$PHP_AUTH_USER,$PHP_AUTH_PW);
$header=imap_header($link,$num);

echo $header[fromaddress];
echo "To: $header[toaddress]<br>";
echo "Date: $header[Date]<br>";
echo "Subject: $header[Subject]<br><br>";
echo imap_body($link,$num);

?>

However, I'm presented with the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/mysite/public_html/folder/mail/view.php3 on line 7

Would anyone be able to help here?

Cheers,
Mike

[man]imap_header[/man] returns an object, not an array (the error message says as much). The syntax for reading the properties of an object is $header->fromaddress.

That's great thanks, it now works!

Would you be able to tell me how I find out what to put in the 'mailserver' parameter? If I have a email account on a certain domain, how do I find out what the mailserver is?

Thanks,
Mike

Anyone know? I've just looked at phpinfo and couldn't find it. Is there a file or something that says the mailserver information?

Thanks,
Mike 🙂
