Class Details

[line 114]
Mail_IMAPv2 provides a flexible API for connecting to and retrieving mail from mailboxes using the IMAP, POP3 or NNTP mail protocols.

Connection to a mailbox is acheived through the c-client extension to PHP (http://www.php.net/imap). Meaning installation of the c-client extension is required to use Mail_IMAPv2.

Mail_IMAPv2 can be used to retrieve the contents of a mailbox, whereas it may serve as the backend for a webmail application or mailing list manager.

Since Mail_IMAPv2 is an abstracted object, it allows for complete customization of the UI for any application.

By default Mail_IMAPv2 parses and retrieves information about multipart message in a threaded fashion similar to MS Outlook, e.g. only top level attachments are retrieved initially, then when message part id and message id are passed to Mail_IMAPv2, it retrieves attachments and information relevant to that message part. getParts can be supplied an argument to turn off threading, whereas all parts are retrieved at once.

Mail_IMAPv2 also, by default retrieves the alternative message parts of multipart messages. This is most useful for debugging applications that send out multipart mailers where both a text/html and alterntaive text/plain part are included. This can also be turned off by supplying an additional argument to getParts.

Mail_IMAPv2 always searches for a text/html part to display as the primary part. This can be reversed so that it always looks for a text/plain part initially by supplying the necessary arguments to getParts, and getBody.

Method Detail

Mail_IMAPv2 (Constructor)   [line 263]

BOOL|null|PEAR_Error Mail_IMAPv2( [string $connection = null], [ $get_info = true], int $action)

Constructor. Optionally set the IMAP resource stream.

If IMAP connection arguments are not supplied, returns null. Accepts a URI abstraction of the standard imap_open connection argument (see connect) or the imap resource indicator.

If the optional flags argument of imap_open needs to be set, then connect should be called after either setting the $option member variable or calling setOptions.

Since Mail_IMAPv2 0.1.0 creates an instance of PEAR_ErrorStack. $options argument became $get_info argument see connect.

  • Tutorial: http://www.smilingsouls.net/?content=Mail_IMAP/Mail_IMAP
  • See: Mail_IMAPv2::connect()
  • See: imap_open
  • Access: public

Parameters:

string   $connection   —  (optional) server URI | imap resource identifier
int   $action   — 
   $get_info   — 

[ Top ]

alerts   [line 1840]

bool|string alerts( [bool $handler = true], [string $seperator = "<br />\n"])

Wrapper function for imap_alerts. Implodes the array returned by imap_alerts, (if any) and returns the text.
  • Tutorial: http://www.smilingsouls.net/Mail_IMAP?content=Mail_IMAP/alerts
  • See: Mail_IMAPv2::errors()
  • See: imap_alerts
  • Access: public

Parameters:

bool   $handler   —  How to handle the imap error stack, true by default. If true adds the alerts to the PEAR_ErrorStack object. If false, returns the imap alert stack.
string   $seperator   —  Characters to seperate each alert message. '
\n' by default.

[ Top ]

close   [line 465]

BOOL close( )

Wrapper method for imap_close. Close the IMAP resource stream.
  • Tutorial: http://www.smilingsouls.net/index.php?content=Mail_IMAP/close
  • See: imap_close
  • Access: public

[ Top ]

connect   [line 321]

BOOL connect( string $uri, [bool $get_info = true])

Wrapper method for imap_open. Accepts a URI abstraction in the following format: imap://user:pass@mail.example.com:143/INBOX#notls instead of the standard connection arguments used in imap_open.

Replace the protocol with one of pop3|pop3s imap|imaps nntp|nntps. Place intial folder in the file path portion, and optionally append tls|notls|novalidate-cert in the anchor portion of the URL. A port number is optional, however, leaving it off could lead to a serious degradation in preformance.

Since Mail_IMAPv2 0.1.0 the $options argument became the $get_info argument. constants for action were removed and the argument is now a BOOL toggle.

array|false extractMIME( int &$mid, string|array $MIMEs)

Searches all message parts for the specified MIME type. Use getBody with $action option Mail_IMAPv2_LITERAL_DECODE to view MIME type parts retrieved.

If you need to access the MIME type with filename use normal getBody with no action specified.

Returns an array of part ids on success. Returns false if MIME couldn't be found, or on failure.

  • Tutorial: http://www.smilingsouls.net/Mail_IMAP?content=Mail_IMAP/extractMIME

array|string|false getBody( int &$mid, [string $pid = '1'], [int $action = 0], [ $get_mime = 'text/html'], [int $attempt = 1], string $getPart)

Searches parts array set in $this->_declareParts() for a displayable message.

If the part id passed is message/rfc822 looks in subparts for a displayable body. Attempts to return a text/html inline message part by default. And will automatically attempt to find a text/plain part if a text/html part could not be found.

Returns an array containing three associative indices; 'ftype', 'fname' and 'message'. 'ftype' contains the MIME type of the message, 'fname', the original file name, if any, empty string otherwise. And 'message', which contains the message body itself which is returned decoded from base64 or quoted-printable if either of those encoding types are specified, returns untouched otherwise. Returns false on failure.

string   $pid   —  part id
int   $action   —  (optional) options for body return. Set to one of the following: Mail_IMAPv2_BODY (default), if part is message/rfc822 searches subparts for a displayable body and returns the body decoded as part of an array. Mail_IMAPv2_LITERAL, return the message for the specified $pid without searching subparts or decoding the message (may return unparsed message) body is returned undecoded as a string. Mail_IMAPv2_LITERAL_DECODE, same as Mail_IMAPv2_LITERAL, except message decoding is attempted from base64 or quoted-printable encoding, returns undecoded string if decoding failed.
string   $getPart   —  (optional) one of text/plain or text/html, allows the specification of the default part to return from multipart messages, text/html by default.
int   $attempt   —  (optional) used internally by getBody to track attempts at finding the right part to display for the body of the message.

getRelatedParts   [line 908]

array|false getRelatedParts( int &$mid, string &$pid, [array $secureMIME = array()])

Looks to see if this part has any inline parts associated with it.

It looks up the message tree for parts with CID entries and indexes those entries, whereas an algorithm may be ran to replace inline CIDs with a part viewer.

array of acceptable CID MIME types.

The $secureMIME argument allows you to limit the types of files allowed in a multipart/related message, for instance, to prevent a browser from automatically initiating download of a part that could contain potentially malicious code.

Suggested MIME types: text/plain, text/html, text/css, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/gif image/png, image/x-png, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, text/xml

MIME types are not limited by default.

  • See: imap_clearflag_full
  • See: imap_setflag_full

setOptions   [line 433]

PEAR_Error|true setOptions( array $options, string $constant)

Set the $option member variable, which is used to specify optional imap_* function arguments (labeled in the manual as flags or options e.g. FT_UID, OP_READONLY, etc).

Example:
