pop3 and fsockopen

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

So I am able to connect to the pop3 server, log in, and check how many messages there are. I am having a problem with server responses though.

In the following code, I don't understand why on the marked line I get a response. Right after I get the server response after sending the password I am able to fgets() and receive the info as if i had just sent the 'stat' command. But I didn't send it at all. Is this just an automated response I should expect, or a setting with the server?

Also, I never seem to get a response from the server when sending the 'list' command. I'm assuming I don't get a response because the browser just waits until timeout at that part of the script.

I am new to sockets and decided to learn them using pop3 as a project. Any help is appreciated.

Code: <?php

$fp=fsockopen("pop.1and1.com", 110, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if($fp){
echo 'Connected!
';

$username="USER email@edited.comrn";
$password="PASS mypasswordrn";

$us=fwrite($fp, $username, strlen($username));
$ur=fgets($fp);
echo 'Username sent, server response: '.$ur.'
';
$ps=fwrite($fp, $password, strlen($password));
$pr=fgets($fp);
echo 'Password sent, server response: '.$pr.'
';

//Question refers to this line
$res=fgets($fp);

$parts=explode(" ", $res);
echo $parts[4].' messages on server

';

//I don't get a response from this part.
$get=fwrite($fp, 'list');
$msg=fgets($fp);
echo $msg;
}
else{
echo 'Failed Connecting!
';
}
