child pid 25742 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

[bezakv]

Hello.
I have a problem when i am trying to open an imap connection to a server in php

Here is the code:
echo "test";

$a_address = "{servername:143}";
$a_username = "user";
$a_password = "password";

$result = imap_open ($a_address . $a_folder, $a_username, $a_password, $a_flags);

die($result);

On IE i get a message: The page cannot be diplayed and when I look in apache error log, there is a log message:

[Sat Nov 22 14:28:43 2003] [notice] child pid 25742 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

All mailservers which I tried to connect work, only the one that I need causes this segmentation fault :-(

When i tried to telnet to the mailserver from the computer where apache and php is running it is OK:

telnet servername 143
Trying servername...
Connected to servername.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK IMAP4 server ready (5.5.021)
1 LOGIN username password
1 OK login successful


What coul be wrong?

PHP Version 4.3.3
Apache/1.3.27


Thanx

Variable definitions should not have the $ in front like you have them here:

$a_address = "{servername:143}";
$a_username = "user";
$a_password = "password";

They should be:
a_address = "{servername:143}";
a_username = "user";
a_password = "password";

Hello.

That is the normal syntax in php. Variables should have $ in front of them.

The problem is, why the apache child terminates when it tries to open connection to that imap server.

I have also tried it with passthru("telnet servername 143&quot and it works....

Sorry bout that, you are correct.

I found this when I did a google search:

There's not much we can do. You either found a bug in PHP or Apache, I'd assume the first. Do you have the IMAP libraries available?
