I have the same problem. I'm not an experienced programmer so I could not come with a patch. However, I've experienced it first hand.

The IMAP server we use replies with (STORAGE aa bb TRIGGER cc dd), where TRIGGER is a value em bytes that triggers the server to send a warning to the user.

PHP4 is considering the usage to be cc and the quota dd, just like described by [email protected]. Looks like it really gets the last two numbers it finds and uses them.

My imap server(InterMail server) returns:

0 getquota ""
* QUOTA "" (STORAGE 250 10000 MESSAGE 26 1500)
0 OK GETQUOTA completed

imap_get_quota is unable to return the STORAGE value.

It appears to me that the error is on the IMAP library:

php_imap.c:1031:if(!imap_getquota(imap_le_struct->imap_stream, Z_STRVAL_PP(qroot))) {

imap_getquota() is implemented by the IMAP library.  I'll try and see if I can find the error on the library and then post a patch.

My bad.  The problem is really on php_imap.c, as noted by [email protected].
I have produced a patch to "fix" the behavior reported by [email protected].  I can't produce a patch to report all the resources as [email protected] suggested because that would break the compatibility :-/.

Anyway, here's the (small) patch:

Suggestions or comments, please mail me.  I haven't tested the patch yet, BTW!!  But my good friend is testing it for me and I'll ask him to post the results here. :)

The patch does work. Actually, it works exactly as advertised. Now imap_get_quota() gets only the value returned by the STORAGE resource and ignores the rest.

Assigning to Dan, as he was working on with some other
quota stuf.

I love you sniper. :)

To all those finding this problem, please look at the PHP-Dev mailing lists and try applying the patch I sent out July 18th 2002 to your PHP 4.2.1

It will not fix all the problems you are listing, it will implement imap_get_quotaroot, and adds functionality to imap_getquota for the name of where it gets it's data.  If this works well enough for everyone I can easily implement a fix for the symptoms mentioned below.   Do please test.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
