webmail woes
Hello all. I'm in a bit of a quandary:
I'm writing a piece of community software, part of that includes retreiveing email from multiple accounts. I thought I would just use the IMAP system built in with PHP and be done with it. Unfortunately, when I call imap_open(), it claims that the function is undefined. Since I pulled the code directly from php.net's examples, I figured that my hosting provider did not compile with IMAP support. I was hoping then to use sockets and work around the problem, only to meet with the same result.
So now, I'm at a loss of what to do. Sending an upgrade request to my hosting provider is futile. To my knowledge, my only recourse would be to direct this part of the software to a perl script -- although I have little idea of how to do such a thing at the moment (aside from passing the user to a *complete* perl application).
Thanx!
