PHP - Imap Date

Hello Everyone... I'm having an issue with my looping and parsing of email via imap...

Here is my code:
Code: [Select]
<?
require "connection.inc";
$mailbox = imap_open("{serverinformation}INBOX", "email@emailaddress.com", "thepassword");
if ($mailbox == false) {
    echo "<p>Error: Can't open mailbox!</p>";
    echo imap_last_error();
    }
    else {

    $num = imap_num_msg($mailbox);

    for ($i=0; $i < $num; $i++) {

        $content = imap_body($mailbox, $num);

        $siteid = stripos($content,"MOU");
        $gwon = stripos($content, "MOSLXX-");

        $TempSiteID = substr($content, $siteid, 7);
        $TempGraniteWorksOrderNumber = substr($content, $gwon, 13);
        echo '<p>Message #: '.$i.' - Site ID: '.$TempSiteID.' - Granite Works Order #: '.$TempGraniteWorksOrderNumber.'</p>';

    }
}

imap_close($mailbox);

?>

The result I get is unexpected... The output gives me each mail message number as expected, however, the information that I parsed for is always that of the last email message... Here's an example of the output:

Message #: 0 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Message #: 1 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Message #: 2 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Message #: 3 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Message #: 4 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Message #: 5 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Message #: 6 - Site ID: MOU3963 - Granite Works Order #: MOSLXX-247119

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

I've got a snippet of code that accesses an email account using the the imap function.  In my class file I can use


'sender' => $headerArr->sender[0]->mailbox . "@" . $headerArr->sender[0]->host,

and it gives me the senders email address.

However when I try to use

'reply_to' => $headerArr->reply_to[0]->mailbox. "@" .$headers->reply_to[0]->host,


it does not give me the reply to address (which can be different when receiving e-mails from groups, forums, etc).

Any help would be appreciated.

I am terribly confused... I am trying to display the html body of a message pulled through imap.

I thought that if I did this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

in the html head, that everything would be pretty much figured out for me, but...

When I look at the original message in gmail (prior to being pulled with imap), I get an ellipses(...), but once I display it in my browser, I get a black diamond question mark thingy...

Help!  I've tried all manners of conversion, but suspect I'm completely missing the boat here.

Thanks

I'm trying to get UTF8 Encoded text out of an email from an imap server.  I can read the mail, but the encoding seems to be jacked up.

Code: [Select]

Hi

I'm trying to get Japanese text out of an email from an imap server.
PHP is somehow mangling it though.

for ( $i = 1; $i <= $mails; $i++ )
{
$struct = imap_fetchstructure( $imap, $i );

// $struct->encoding is 0
// The text is UTF8


$body1 = imap_utf8( imap_body( $imap, $i ) );
$body2 = imap_body( $imap, $i );

}

In the above code, $body1 and $body2 are the same, and not any Japanese encoding.  They're just garbage.  Any ideas?
My server is fastmail if that helps.

I seem to be having a difficult time saving the attachments to a folder on the server, all the examples I see show it to the browser, what I need to do is copy the attachment to a separate folder and do some processing on it. So far everything I get, then ftp to my desktop appears corrupt. It works I just can't seem to unzip the zipped attachments, any ideas?

My Code: (Not mine, I used examples from the web and put it into a function)

function get_attachments($message_number){
      
      global $connection;
      
      $structure = imap_fetchstructure($connection, $message_number);
      
      $attachments = array();
         if(isset($structure->parts) && count($structure->parts)) {

            for($i = 0; $i < count($structure->parts); $i++) {      
               $attachments[$i] = array(
               'is_attachment' => false,
                  'filename' => '',
                  'name' => '',
                  'attachment' => ''
            );
      
            if($structure->parts[$i]->ifdparameters) {
               foreach($structure->parts[$i]->dparameters as $object) {
                  if(strtolower($object->attribute) == 'filename') {
                     $attachments[$i]['is_attachment'] = true;
                     $attachments[$i]['filename'] = $object->value;
                  }
               }
            }
      
            if($structure->parts[$i]->ifparameters) {
               foreach($structure->parts[$i]->parameters as $object) {
                  if(strtolower($object->attribute) == 'name') {
                     $attachments[$i]['is_attachment'] = true;
                     $attachments[$i]['name'] = $object->value;
                  }
               }
            }
      
            if($attachments[$i]['is_attachment']) {
               $attachments[$i]['attachment'] = imap_fetchbody($connection, $message_number, $i+1);
               if($structure->parts[$i]->encoding == 3) { // 3 = BASE64
                  $attachments[$i]['attachment'] = base64_decode($attachments[$i]['attachment']);
               }
               elseif($structure->parts[$i]->encoding == 4) { // 4 = QUOTED-PRINTABLE
                  $attachments[$i]['attachment'] = quoted_printable_decode($attachments[$i]['attachment']);
               }
            }
         }
      }
      
      return $attachments;
   }


Calling Code:

$a = get_attachments(6);
$fp = fopen($a[1]['filename'], 'w');
fwrite($fp, $a);
fclose($fp);

Hi all,

I am working on PHP to create a email client using imap. I have got a problem with using imap because it will get very slow so I want to find a way to make it to go faster. I have been researching that I have seen alot of people are using mysql database to store their emails and get access to their emails pretty quick than using imap. And I have also seen that roundcube are using mysql database to store contacts, emails...etc. I am not really sure what to do but I need your advice and I need your opinion.

I have got questions for you. Do you think if I am better off to use imap or use mysql database to get access to my emails pretty quicker?

If you think I am better off to use mysql database, then I want to know how I could store my emails in mysql and do I need to delete the emails in imap after I store the emails in mysql?

Please let me know your opinion so I will decide what to do next.

Thank you.

The junk I've found on phpclasses is well junk and not to mention really old.  I started writing my own, but I frankly don't like the plumbing involved.  Anyone have a great IMAP class?  Something that just does the work for you?

How would I go about creating a new user email account that can be accessed via my cpanel mail scripts (RoundCube, SquirrelMail, etc.), in PHP.

I'm building a PHP application that's connect to gmail and download the messages. I have an account that contains more than two millions messages and the PHP cannot connect to that account. What can I do?
The error is:
Mailbox has more messages (2004032) exist than maximum (1000000)

Hi,
I have a script that creates an email through cpanel, that part works. But i am getting error reading the email.
Code: [Select]
Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {mail.spamarchon.com:143} in /home/spamarch/public_html/index.php  on line 71here is the code:
Code: [Select]
$mbox = imap_open("{mail.$edomain:143}", "$euser@$edomain", "$epass");

any idea

Thanks

Hi guys,

I have written a script that opens up my gmail messages via IMAP stores them in an array.  However, I have thousands of emails, so this is taking forever.  Is there a faster way of doing this?

Here's my code

Code: [Select]
<?php
//lets get those emails

/* connect to gmail */
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = 'info@***********.com';
$password = '******';

/* try to connect */
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());

/* grab emails */
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL');

/* if emails are returned, cycle through each... */
if($emails) {
  

  /* for every email... */
  foreach($emails as $email_number) {
    
    $message = imap_fetchbody($inbox,$email_number,2);
  }
  
} 

/* close the connection */
imap_close($inbox);
?>

Hi All,

I want to create a simple WEBMAIL application from scratch and I've already started with the help of IMAP functions.
Listing & Viewing (of Inbox Messages) modules almost completed.
Now I want to create an option for composing & sending emails. I've tried imap_mail() function, but there were some problems.

So can anybody help me on this, if it there any available resources for it maybe classes or functions??

Thanks in advance

I have a script that fetch emails and its work file when I call it through SSH with PHP at the beginning on the path

when I added a cronjob it was working fine too... the problem start when I disable the cronjob email response, the script dose not functioning with Imap

What can I do in order to bypass this problem, I will try to call it with include but I have no other options..
Please help

I have spent nearly all day scouring Google for help on this and after trying numerous scripts unsuccessfully and reading up on imap functions but still getting nowhere as well as frying my brain l have had to accept defeat unless anyone of the many gifted coders here can help me out with a script they might have written and used.

many thanks Callum

hi,

very strange issue. when I create test e-mail or I will forward the specific e-mail, the script works correctly - saves attachment into server disk.
now, when I configure to check another mailbox, it gives me error:

Num Messages 11

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /test/emailattach/index.php on line 34

index.php:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$mbox = imap_open("{mail.server.com:143}", "email@email", "XXX") or die('Cannot connect to mail: ' . imap_last_error());

// make connection with mailbox and check # messages
if ($hdr = imap_check($mbox)) {
echo "Num Messages " . $hdr->Nmsgs ."\n\n<br><br>";
$msgCount = $hdr->Nmsgs;
} else { echo "failed"; }
$overview=imap_fetch_overview($mbox,"1:$msgCount",0);
$size=sizeof($overview);


// get message info
for($i=$size-1;$i>=0;$i--)
{
$val=$overview[$i];
$msg=$val->msgno;
$from=$val->from;
$date=$val->date;
$subj=$val->subject;
$seen=$val->seen;
$from = ereg_replace("\"","",$from);


// Check for attachements and store them
$struct = imap_fetchstructure($mbox,$msg);
$contentParts = count($struct->parts);
if ($contentParts >= 2) {
for ($ix=2;$ix<=$contentParts;$ix++) {

for ($k=0;$k<sizeof($att);$k++) {
if ($att[$k]->parameters[0]->value == "us-ascii" ||
$att[$k]->parameters[0]->value == "US-ASCII") {
if ($att[$k]->parameters[1]->value != "") {
$FileName[$k] = $att[$k]->parameters[1]->value;
$FileType[$k] = strrev(substr(strrev($FileName[$k]),0,4));
}
} elseif ($att[$k]->parameters[0]->value != "iso-8859-1" &&
$att[$k]->parameters[0]->value != "ISO-8859-1") {
$FileName[$k] = $att[$k]->parameters[0]->value;
$FileType[$k] = strrev(substr(strrev($FileName[$k]),0,4));
$fileContent = imap_fetchbody($mbox,$msg,$file+2);
$fileContent = imap_base64($fileContent);


$localfile = fopen("$FileName[$k]","w");
fputs($localfile,$fileContent);
fclose($localfile);
}
}
}
}
imap_close($mbox);
?>

Could there be some encoding issue?

with thanks,
Margus
