### Installation

Disposable-mailbox can be installed by copying the src directory to a webserver. 

1. assure the [imap extension](http://php.net/manual/book.imap.php) is installed. The following command should not print any errors:

        <?php print imap_base64("SU1BUCBleHRlbnNpb24gc2VlbXMgdG8gYmUgaW5zdGFsbGVkLiA="); ?>

2. download a [release](https://github.com/synox/disposable-mailbox/releases) or clone this repository
3. copy the files in the `src` directory to your web server (not the whole repo!).
4. rename `config.sample.php` to `config.php` and apply the imap settings. Move `config.php` to a safe location in a *parent directory* outside the `public_html`, so it is not reachable through the browser.
5. open it in your browser, check your php error log for messages. 


### Build it yourself
The src directory contains all required files. If you want to update the php dependencies, you can update them yourself.  You must have [composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) installed. 


Install php dependecies:

    composer update

### Troubleshooting

* **IMAP Server has invalid certificate**: You might have to add `novalidate-cert` to the IMAP settings. See flags on http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php.
* **Error 500, Internal error**: Check your error log file. Add to `config.php`: 

    ini_set('display_errors', 1);    ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);    error_reporting(E_ALL);

## Testing on MacOs
 * brew install php 
 * brew install kabel/php-ext/php-imap
 * php -S localhost:8000 -t src
