PHP Imap functions not working?

[davidb2002]

I have checked with online support and phpinfo() to make sure that php support imap, and it does. So why is it that when I execute the code below nothing at all returns, not even the echo commands?

<?php

echo 'before imap_open';

//connect to mail server
$inbox = imap_open("{localhost:143}","account@host.com","password") or die('Could not connect to mail server');

echo 'after imap_open';

$num_msg = $imap_num_msg($inbox);
echo $num_msg;

imap_close($inbox);
?>

I am also having problems with the IMAP functions (only related to message header functions thought)

Did you get any solution to this?

This code works:

PHP Code:

<?php

function imap_purge($IP,$user,$pass,$mode){


    $mbox = @imap_open("{".$IP.":143}", $user, $pass);

if($mbox){
    $folders = imap_listmailbox($mbox, "{".$IP.":143}", "*");
    echo "<h1>Headers in INBOX for $user</h1>\n";
    for ($i = 1; $i <= imap_num_msg($mbox); $i++){

        $header = imap_headerinfo($mbox, $i, 80, 80);
        $subject= $header->fetchsubject;
        $date = $header->udate;

        $udate=time();

        //number of days to purge after
        $purge_after = 5;

        $messageBody = imap_body($mbox, $i);

        $age = ($udate - $date)/86400;
        echo  $i.") ".$subject." - Age: ".number_format($age,0)."<br>";

        if($age > $purge_after and $mode == "A"){
            imap_delete($mbox, $i);
            echo "Delete old message $i<br>";
        

        }

        
        //delete all spam, even if new.
        if(strstr($subject,"{Spam?}")){
            if($mode == "A")
            imap_delete($mbox, $i);
            echo "Delete spam: $i<br>";
        }

        //if clear mode, delete all mail
        if($mode == "C")
           imap_delete($mbox, $i);

    }

    //except in test mode, expunge the delete files.


    if($mode != "T")
       imap_expunge($mbox);

    imap_close($mbox);
  } else {
  
   echo "IMAP Access denied<br>";
   
   }

}

//MODES:  T = Test mode, A = Run mode, C = Clear all messages in box.  Run mode delete messages, test mode lists messages.

imap_purge("76.54.8.220","admin1@fbi.gov","s2oqlg2f28","A");



?>

This code is a little different, its for purging messages from an account, but it should show you how to access your account. If this code doesn't work, contact support.
