imap_open recursively tried for password and fails

Question

I m trying to use imap_open to open a remote mail box. When the password is incorrect it tries a number of time and gives warning and fails.

Where as php list if imap_open is not successfully it will return false.

This is not happening.

Please help

Answer 1

The only solution appears to me is to disable the notice of suppress such notice with @ in php

Answer 2

my workaround:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
