imap_body — Read the message body

Descripción

imap_body(IMAP\Connection $imap, int $message_num, int $flags = 0): string|false

imap_body() returns the body of the message, numbered message_num in the current mailbox.

imap_body() will only return a verbatim copy of the message body. To extract single parts of a multipart MIME-encoded message you have to use imap_fetchstructure() to analyze its structure and imap_fetchbody() to extract a copy of a single body component.

Please note that the UID is NOT unique.
UID of the email may be not unique on the server (2 messages in different folders may have same UID).

Basically, don't use the UID as a unique identifier.

Simple example on how to read body message of the recent mail.



<?php

$imap = imap_open("{pop.example.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}", "username", "password");



if( $imap ) {

    

     //Check no.of.msgs

     $num = imap_num_msg($imap);



     //if there is a message in your inbox

     if( $num >0 ) {

          //read that mail recently arrived

          echo imap_qprint(imap_body($imap, $num));

     }



     //close the stream

     imap_close($imap);

}

?>
