(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)
Returns information about the current mailbox. Returns FALSE on failure.
The imap_check() function checks the current mailbox status on the server and returns the information in an object with following properties:
Date - current system time formatted according to RFC822
Driver - protocol used to access this mailbox: POP3, IMAP, NNTP
Mailbox - the mailbox name
Nmsgs - number of messages in the mailbox
Recent - number of recent messages in the mailbox
Пример 1. imap_check() example
<?php $imap_obj = imap_check($imap_stream); var_dump($imap_obj); ?>
this will output :
object(stdClass)(5) { ["Date"]=> string(37) "Wed, 10 Dec 2003 17:56:54 +0100 (CET)" ["Driver"]=> string(4) "imap" ["Mailbox"]=> string(54) "{www.example.com:143/imap/user="foo@example.com"}INBOX" ["Nmsgs"]=> int(1) ["Recent"]=> int(0) }
You can NOT prevent imap_check from flagging new/recent messages when using POP3 enabling the "/readonly" or OP_READONLY flags or options.
The imap_check ($stream); function will return real-time information about the e-mail box (at least imap) during one connection :)
You can prevent imap_check from flagging new/recent messages as checked by calling imap_open with the "/readonly" or OP_READONLY flags.
Running this on a mailbox will mark recent/new messages as checked.
