Suppress bogus PHP imap_open() Notice: insecure server advertised AUTH=PLAIN

Question

I\'m getting a mess of these bogus warnings in my log file, and I’d like to suppress them without suppressing legitimate messages:

PHP Notice: Unknown: SECU

Answer 1

As deceze said, it's not really a "bogus" message, it just means that it's a plaintext unencrypted connection. Here is how you can do :

$error = imap_errors();
if (count($error) > 1 || $error[0] != 'SECURITY PROBLEM: insecure server advertised AUTH=PLAIN') {
  // More than 1 error or not the expected error
  var_dump($error);
  throw new Exception('IMAP error detected');
}
