I have some php code that I'm trying to use to connect to gmail using imap. Here's the code:
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX';
$tmp_username = 'username';
$tmp_password = 'password';
$inbox = imap_open($hostname, $username, $password) or die(imap_last_error());
And I get this error output everytime i try to connect:
Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX in /var/www/PHP/EmailScript.php on line 14 Login aborted
I dont understand what could be wrong!! I've heard of people having SSL errors but this doesnt seem to be one of those. Please please please help me!!!!!
Edit: When trying to connect to imap.gmail.com through telnet-ssl i get the following output:
Trying 74.125.155.109... Connected to gmail-imap.l.google.com. Escape character is '^]'.
And Nothign else happens
