 Bug Type:         IMAP related
 Operating System: RHEL V3
 PHP Version:      4.3.8
 New Comment:

I disagree...  Php is returning invalid data. Just because the From:
field is invalid syntax, that doesn't mean that php should follow suit
and provide invalid data.  

On call to imap_headerinfo, it's returning an invalid mailbox -- i.e.,
"30TV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"@t1. The code should return an error
message or error code, or should return "carpenter", which is the
mailbox, and it should properly set "example.com" as the host object.

Obviously php is mangling the original field in an attempt to return a
valid mailbox string.  So, if before returning the string, if php did a
simple regexp to test for invalid chars like,

if (!ereg("/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+/", $str)

then it could determin if the mailbox string was valid or not before
returning yet another invalid string.

Oh well, if not fixed in php I guess I'll have to run my 'if' condition
against every mailbox returned by imap_headerinfo.

Thanks again for your help,
-JA

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

The header seems to corrupt in the 1st place.

Description:
------------
Email message header with additional quotes in From: field corrupts
results returned by imap_headerinfo.

E.g.
Message with this from field:
From: "30"TV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 

imap_headerinfo produces:
stdClass Object
(
    [date] => Wed, 25 Aug 2004 19:16:52 -0800
    [Date] => Wed, 25 Aug 2004 19:16:52 -0800
    [subject] => Free to new members- Flat Screen TV 
    [Subject] => Free to new members- Flat Screen TV 
    [fromaddress] => "30TV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"@t1
    [from] => Array([0] => stdClass Object
                (
                 [mailbox] => 30TV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
                 [host] => t1
                )
        )
<snip...>

Reading this message from imap server using Outlook produces correct
results, with additional quotes simply removed.  I also read this
message from imap server using Pine, since php uses same c-client. 
When displaying the message header in Pine, Pine replaced the corrupt
"From" field with the non-corrupt "To" field when message header is
displayed in the Inbox.
