    imap_list — Read the list of mailboxes

    Descrizione

    imap_list(IMAP\Connection $imap, string $reference, string $pattern): array|false

    Read the list of mailboxes.

    Elenco dei parametri

    imap

    An IMAP\Connection instance.

    reference

    reference should normally be just the server specification as described in imap_open().

    Avviso

    Passing untrusted data to this parameter is insecure, unless imap.enable_insecure_rsh is disabled.

    pattern

    Specifica da dove, nella gerarchia della mailbox, cominciare a cercare.

    Ci sono due caratteri speciali che si possono passare all'interno di pattern: '*' e '%'. '*' restituisce tutte le mailbox. Se si passa '*' in pattern, verrà restituito un elenco du tutta le gerarchia della mailbox. '%' corrisponde al solo livello attuale. '%' nel parametro pattern restituirà solo le mailbox del livello superiore; '~/mail/%' in UW_IMAPD restituirà ogni mailbox nella cartella ~/mail, ma non quelle nelle sue sottocartelle.

    Valori restituiti

    Returns an array containing the names of the mailboxes or false in case of failure.

    Versione Descrizione
    8.1.0 The imap parameter expects an IMAP\Connection instance now; previously, a valid imap resource was expected.

    With the values returned from the imap_list function, you can search a message in the folder, but you have to use the imap_reopen function before . Continuing the previous example (from c6h1206free at gmail dot com )

    <?php
      $srv     = '{imap.example.com}';
          $conn = imap_open($srv, 'me', 'mypass');
          $boxes = imap_list($conn, $srv, '*');
      foreach(    $boxes as $box)
      {
            imap_reopen($srv, $box);
            var_dump(imap_search($srv, "ALL"));
      }
          imap_close($conn);
    ?>

    Please be aware that if you are trying to list an empty mailbox, imap_list will return FALSE as if there was an error instead of an empty array() as one may expect.

    Example:

    With a brand new account created on your mail server, with an empty INBOX, you will get:

    $list = imap_list( $imap_stream, $ref, "INBOX/*");
    var_dump( $list );
    // bool(false)

    imap_list returns a simple array of strings that look just like the $ref parameter one needs to specify:

    <?php

      $srv     = '{imap.example.com}';

          $conn = imap_open($srv, 'me', 'mypass');

          $boxes = imap_list($conn, $srv, '*');

          print_r($boxes);
          imap_close($conn);
    ?>

    Output:

    <pre>
    Array
    (
        [0] => {imap.example.com}Calendar
        [1] => {imap.example.com}Contacts
        [2] => {imap.example.com}Deleted Items
        [3] => {imap.example.com}Drafts
        [4] => {imap.example.com}Journal
        [5] => {imap.example.com}Junk E-mail
        [6] => {imap.example.com}Notes
        [7] => {imap.example.com}Outbox
        [8] => {imap.example.com}RSS Feeds
        [9] => {imap.example.com}Sent Items 
        [10] => {imap.example.com}Tasks
    )
    </pre>

    These directly fill in the $ref argument for every function that takes one.

    if there is an error imap_list returns FALSE not an empty array (as expected by docs)
