Script only working 1/4th of the time

[ronnyjljr]

Hello,

Once again, I am writing a webmail script, and I can successfully access it every now and then. On the other attempts I get a "Page not found" error. If I refresh the page about 12 times it will finally go but without submitting the variables Iwanted. What is causing this script to only work some of the time?

Sounds like it could be a caching problem. What browser are you using?

Internet Explorer

Do you think it is the placement of the php code inside the document that could be causing it? Or could it be server side?

Ok, I figrred some of this out,

The line that connects to the pop server is causing the page not to be displayed

$server = imap_open("{localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX",$account,$password, OP_HALFOPEN);

anything wrong that I am doing?
However, when this works, it works like a charm.

A page with no content and a "Page not found" error are two different things.

A lot of things can be cause a "Page not found" error, particularly with IE, which is not very good about giving reasons for its errors. Things like DNS timeouts and network errors can cause the error you're reporting.

If you are having an error in that script line, you should get an error. Or a blank page. But not "page not found".
