The script gets the correct parameter, so the value for $imp['user'] is
right.
I think the problem is when PHP has to receive the value from the script.

I did some tests, and  if i add a "echo 'string'" in the script,
the function 'imp_expand_fromaddress' works fine and i get the following
adress email : string at domain.com

The problem is that  i can do an "echo  $(NR-1)" , seems like "echo" only
print strings in awk.
