Reading Mail in PHP

[anjanesh]

I cant seem to get to connect to my mail account in PHP.
The email account was created in Cpanel X 1.0 (RC36)

$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX", "user@domain.com", "password") or die(imap_last_error());
imap_close ($mbox); 

This is the output I get

Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {localhost:110/pop3}INBOX in /home/webhost1/public_html/folder/imap.php on line 6
POP3 connection broken in response
Notice: (null)(): POP3 connection broken in response (errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0

Any idea how to get this work ?

Thanks

Try changing this part:

localhost:110/pop3 

to this:

localhost:110/pop3/notls

I tried in 3 ways - all 3 returned errors.

$mbox = imap_open("{localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX", "user+domain.com", "pass");
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in /home/webhost1/public_html/folder/imap.php on line 7

$mbox = imap_open("{localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX", "user@domain.com", "pass");
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in /home/webhost1/public_html/folder/imap.php on line 7

$mbox = imap_open("{localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX", "user", "pass");
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in /home/webhost1/public_html/folder/imap.php on line 7

Have you tried:

$mbox = imap_open("{yourdomain.com:110/pop3}INBOX", "user", "pass");

or

$mbox = imap_open("{mail.yourdomain.com:110/pop3}INBOX", "user", "pass");

or

$mbox = imap_open("{yourIP:110/pop3}INBOX", "user", "pass");

Thanks webignition - yours worked - but I dont understand why need to specify domain / IP when running on localhost ? How come localhost is not working ?

Thanks
