Owning PHP

The PHP IMAP library is a lot more do-able than I had originally thought.  The rapid-prototyping characteristics of the language came out in full force today, with a short script capable of logging into and displaying the contents of a spam quarantine on my local IMAP server.

This honestly took something like 30 minutes.  I was shaking my head while coding.  “It can’t be this simple” crossed my lips not a few times.

I mean, the thing has no functionality, but it lists headers.  Remind me to keep disliking this language.
