    Hey all -

    http://pecl.php.net/package/POP3

    I've got this package working fine on my windows box at home -- but I need to run an app i've developed on a shared hosting site (unix) that of course doesn't have it in their ext folder.

    can someone hook me up with the pop3.so file or tell me how I could obtain it from a windows machine?

    thanks in advance,

    ~HN Will

    You can't take from a windows box your host has to configure their install with pop3 support. Contact your host, or check if IMAP is installed and change your code to use that instead. It would not be very difficult to do this. If you only have IMAP post your code and I will show how to convert to use IMAP functions as many hosts don't install the pop3 extention because it's not really needed when IMAP is configured in the make install!

    yeah - i first played around with php's imap functions but it wouldn't let me connect to a gmail account

    $mbox = imap_open ("{pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl}INBOX", "user_id", "password");

    this should work but I wasn't able to get it to.

    however, with the pop3 ext. it worked no problem...

    any thoughts?
