Booosta allows to develop PHP web applications quick. It is mainly designed for small web applications. It does not provide a strict MVC distinction. Although the MVC concepts influence the framework. Templates, data objects can be seen as the Vs and Ms of MVC. Up to version 3 Booosta was available at Sourceforge: From version 4 on it resides on Github and is available from Packagist under booosta/booosta . Installation ------------ [](#installation) This module can be used inside the Booosta framework. If you want to do so, install the framework first. See the [installation instructions](https://github.com/buzanits/booosta-installer) for accomplishing this. If your Booosta is installed, you can install this module. You also can use this module in your standalone PHP scripts. In both cases you install it with: ``` composer require booosta/imap ``` Your PHP has to support the IMAP functionallity. It must have been compiled with IMAP support or load the module. Usage in the Booosta framework ------------------------------ [](#usage-in-the-booosta-framework) In your scripts you use the module: ``` $imap = $this->makeInstance('imap', $server, $username, $password, $options); // Get the number of messages in Mailbox $count = $imap->get_msg_num(); // Get the list of folders $folders = $imap->get_folderlist(); // Get a specific message. The format of the message is explained later. $msg = $imap->get_mail_message($number); // Get the last message in the mailbox $msg = $imap->get_last_message($delete = false); // Move a specific mail to a different location $imap->move_mail($number, $destination); // Delete a specific mail // $expunge means remove the mail from server immediately, not on closing of mailbox $imap->delete_message($number, $expunge = true); // Create a new folder $imap->create_folder($name); // Get the size of the complete mailbox // returns Megabyte or Byte if $bytes is set to true $size = $imap->get_size($bytes = false); ``` Options ------- [](#options) The last parameter of the constructor is an optional array that holds options ``` $options['tls'] = true; // use TLS $options['novalidate-cert'] = true; // do not validate servers certificate $options['raise_error'] = true; // raise a booosta error when a problem arises ``` Usage as Standalone Module -------------------------- [](#usage-as-standalone-module) Just replace the first line of the above example with: ``` $imap = new \booosta\imap\Imap($server, $username, $password, $options); ``` Message Object -------------- [](#message-object) `get_mail_message()` and `get_last_message()` return an object with the following methods ``` $msg = $imap->get_mail_message($number); print PHP_EOL . 'Sender: ' . $msg->get_sender(); print PHP_EOL . 'Recepient: ' . $msg->get_recepient(); print PHP_EOL . 'Recepient: ' . $msg->get_recipient(); // for those always typing it wrong ;-) print PHP_EOL . 'Subject: ' . $msg->get_subject(); print PHP_EOL . 'Text: ' . $msg->get_text(); print PHP_EOL . 'Raw Text: ' . $msg->get_rawtext(); print PHP_EOL . 'Date/Time: ' . $msg->get_dtime(); ``` ### Health Score 42 ↑ FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
