The following code crashes PHP when my mailbox is empty !

<html>
<?php 

$MAILSERVER= "{pop.mail.com/pop3}"; 
$link=imap_open($MAILSERVER,"login", "pass"); 
$headers=imap_headers($link); 

for($x=1; $x < count($headers); $x++) { 
    $idx=($x-1); 
    echo  "<a href=\"view.php3?num=$x\">$headers[$idx]</a><br>"; 
} 

?>
</html>

Define "crash". Does httpd dump core? If so, can you provide a backtrace?
 [2000-02-29 09:57 UTC] hholzgra at cvs dot php dot net
the POP3 and IMAP drivers in c-client treat
an empty mailbox slightly different here

both will log this event with mm_log,
but while the imap driver logs it just for info
with type NIL, the pop driver issues a WARN

this leads to a 'fatal error' message in PHP,
but it should not crash 

you may want to check the presence of messages
with imap_check() or imap_status() before
calling imap_headers()

PS: you have an off-by-one error in your example,
    it should read <= count() instead of < count()
    in the for-statement

here's a backtrace for this one as well. Once again, it
doesn't give me the slightest clue as to what's going wrong.

The test case for this can be reduced to:

<html>
<?php
$MAILSERVER= "{pop.mail.com/pop3}";
$link=imap_open($MAILSERVER,"login", "pass");
?>
</html>


Same cleanup crash. Anyone have an idea what's different
about empty pop3 mailboxes that seem to close the resource
early?

I should also add that this is reproducible on Linux, so it's not just an NT problem.
 [2000-08-01 21:32 UTC] hholzgra@php.net
is this reproduceable with latest php and c-client versions?

if so - what's the pop server you are using?

i cannot reproduce this ...

no feedback, closing.
