awilliam

I'm running PHP 5.2.4 and getting the error:

*Warning*: Wrong parameter count for imap_open() in
*/var/www/sites/intra-test/contract/login.php* on line *9

*My code is:

$mbox =
imap_open("\"{mail.mdah.state.ms.us/imap/novalidate-cert:143}INBOX\",
\"".$_POST["username"]."\", \"".$_POST["password"]."\""); // line 9

but when I echo it out, it looks fine:

echo "\"{mail.mdah.state.ms.us/imap/novalidate-cert:143}INBOX\",
\"".$_POST["username"]."\", \"".$_POST["password"]."\"";

prints:

"{mail.mdah.state.ms.us/imap/novalidate-cert:143}INBOX", "awilliam",
"xxxxxxx"


any ideas?

You just forgot to encapsulate your parameters properly. You
escape the strings, but don't close the parameter, so PHP reads that
all as one parameter passed to imap_open().

Change it to one of the following:

$mbox = imap_open("\"{mail.mdah.state.ms.us/imap/novalidate-cert:143}INBOX\"","\"".$_POST["username"]."\"","\"".$_POST["password"]."\"");
// line 9

---- OR ----

$mbox = imap_open('"{mail.mdah.state.ms.us/imap/novalidate-cert:143}INBOX"','"'.$_POST['username'].'"','".$_POST['password'].'"');

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

From the documentation, it looks to me like you are makings things much more complicated then they
need to be.

imap_open('{mail.mdah.state.ms.us/imap/novalidate-cert:143}INBOX',
$_POST["username"],
$_POST["password"]);

From what the documentation shows, you do not need to have quotes around the username/password fields. Enjoy.

This creates a single string which LOOKS like what you should have
typed in the first place.


You need to END the quote for the Mailbox before you put in a comma to
separate the mailbox arg from the username arg.
