Ill explain it a bit more better.
I have a file with something like the contents at the bottom (without the --).
Now on my live server i can use: <?php $imapResource = imap_open('/path/to/file-with-contents-at-bottom', '', ''); ?>.
This works like a charm, and i can use that resource to extract the information of that contents of that file.

Now if i use that same script on my test server, it doesn't work anymore.
And i get the following error: "Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream /path/to/file-with-contents-at-bottom in ...".
This file is located (for example) in the document_root of the web server.
While on the live server the $imapResource is an 'resource(42) of type (imap)'.

So i wonder how i can fix this imap_open() problem.

Im sorry if i don't understand your response very well if that could be the solution.

Thx in advanced.
