Ok, I think I found out why the script Im debbugging is returning an
empty string.
1. It opens a socket to the mailserver with fsockopen
2. It checks the greeting by reading using fgets()
3. Then it check the reponse by supplying the username to the
fsockopen() connection
4. It returns an empty string.
It seems as if the first time fgets() was used on the open connection,
it reads it to EOF.
Any further attemps would fail because the data from the socket
connection is at EOF.
I tried to rewind() it, but rewind() doens't take socket resource.
So, going by what this script is trying to do, (I have no experience
with this), is it correct to assume, that with each attempt to talk to
the server,
a new connection must be made to read data from it??
If you want more info, feel free to ask...
Thanks

Im debugging a script that opens a connection to a pop3 server.
When I var dump the return of fsockopen() from the script Im
debugging, I get - resource(38) of type (socket)
I made up a dummy script to see what I would get and the return of
fsockopen is - resource(1) of type (socket)
My dummy script is able to to recieve a +OK from the pop3 server but
the other file is getting an empty string.
Is there a difference between 1 and 38??
Thanks...
