[imp] PHP 5

[Matt Whitlock]

To anyone who might like to run IMP on PHP 5:

I have Horde 2.2.6, IMP 3.2.6, and PHP 5.0.2 on my server and they are running
correctly.

I only changed one line of code in Horde.

In horde/lib/MIME/Viewer.php, the following code:

/* Check that we have a valid MIME_Part object */
if (!is_object($mime_part) || get_class($mime_part) != 'mime_part') {
    return false;
}

Should be changed to:

/* Check that we have a valid MIME_Part object */
if (!is_object($mime_part) || strtolower(get_class($mime_part)) != 'mime_part')
{
    return false;
}

That is all I had to change to get IMP running on PHP 5.  Also, be sure you have
the latest versions of any installed PEAR packages since there was a bug in
PEAR/Mail/RFC822.php that affected IMP's ability to send mail:
pear upgrade-all

Of course, your mileage may vary.  Chuck at Horde was very quick to dismiss this
fix, but it solved a lot of problems for me.  Hopefully someone else out there
can benefit.
