This library allows you to fetch emails from your email server. Extend the functionality or create powerful web applications to handle your incoming emails. ### Features [](#features) - Connect to mailbox by POP3/IMAP/NNTP, using [PHP IMAP extension](http://php.net/manual/book.imap.php) - Get emails with attachments and inline images - Get emails filtered or sorted by custom criteria - Mark emails as seen/unseen - Delete emails - Manage mailbox folders ### Requirements [](#requirements) PHP Versionphp-imap Versionphp-imap status5.63.xEnd of life7.03.xEnd of life7.13.xEnd of life7.23.x, 4.xEnd of life7.33.x, 4.xEnd of life7.4>3.0.33, 4.x, 5.xActive support8.0>3.0.33, 4.x, 5.xActive support8.1>4.3.0, 5.xActive support- PHP `fileinfo` extension must be present; so make sure this line is active in your php.ini: `extension=php_fileinfo.dll` - PHP `iconv` extension must be present; so make sure this line is active in your php.ini: `extension=php_iconv.dll` - PHP `imap` extension must be present; so make sure this line is active in your php.ini: `extension=php_imap.dll` - PHP `mbstring` extension must be present; so make sure this line is active in your php.ini: `extension=php_mbstring.dll` - PHP `json` extension must be present; so make sure this line is active in your php.ini: `extension=json.dll` ### Installation by Composer [](#installation-by-composer) Install the [latest available release](https://github.com/barbushin/php-imap/releases): ``` $ composer require php-imap/php-imap ``` Install the latest available and stable source code from `master`, which is may not released / tagged yet: ``` $ composer require php-imap/php-imap:dev-master ``` ### Run Tests [](#run-tests) Before you can run the any tests you may need to run `composer install` to install all (development) dependencies. #### Run all tests [](#run-all-tests) You can run all available tests by running the following command (inside of the installed `php-imap` directory): `composer run tests` #### Run only PHPUnit tests [](#run-only-phpunit-tests) You can run all PHPUnit tests by running the following command (inside of the installed `php-imap` directory): `php vendor/bin/phpunit --testdox` ### Integration with frameworks [](#integration-with-frameworks) - Symfony - ### Getting Started Example [](#getting-started-example) Below, you'll find an example code how you can use this library. For further information and other examples, you may take a look at the [wiki](https://github.com/barbushin/php-imap/wiki). By default, this library uses random filenames for attachments as identical file names from other emails would overwrite other attachments. If you want to keep the original file name, you can set the attachment filename mode to `true`, but then you also need to ensure, that those files don't get overwritten by other emails for example. ``` // Create PhpImap\Mailbox instance for all further actions $mailbox = new PhpImap\Mailbox( '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', // IMAP server and mailbox folder 'some@gmail.com', // Username for the before configured mailbox '*********', // Password for the before configured username __DIR__, // Directory, where attachments will be saved (optional) 'UTF-8', // Server encoding (optional) true, // Trim leading/ending whitespaces of IMAP path (optional) false // Attachment filename mode (optional; false = random filename; true = original filename) ); // set some connection arguments (if appropriate) $mailbox->setConnectionArgs( CL_EXPUNGE // expunge deleted mails upon mailbox close | OP_SECURE // don't do non-secure authentication ); try { // Get all emails (messages) // PHP.net imap_search criteria: http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-search.php $mailsIds = $mailbox->searchMailbox('ALL'); } catch(PhpImap\Exceptions\ConnectionException $ex) { echo "IMAP connection failed: " . implode(",", $ex->getErrors('all')); die(); } // If $mailsIds is empty, no emails could be found if(!$mailsIds) { die('Mailbox is empty'); } // Get the first message // If '__DIR__' was defined in the first line, it will automatically // save all attachments to the specified directory $mail = $mailbox->getMail($mailsIds[0]); // Show, if $mail has one or more attachments echo "\nMail has attachments? "; if($mail->hasAttachments()) { echo "Yes\n"; } else { echo "No\n"; } // Print all information of $mail print_r($mail); // Print all attachements of $mail echo "\n\nAttachments:\n"; print_r($mail->getAttachments()); ``` Method `imap()` allows to call any [PHP IMAP function](https://www.php.net/manual/ref.imap.php) in a context of the instance. Example: ``` // Call imap_check() - see http://php.net/manual/function.imap-check.php $info = $mailbox->imap('check'); // Show current time for the mailbox $currentServerTime = isset($info->Date) && $info->Date ? date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($info->Date)) : 'Unknown'; echo $currentServerTime; ``` Some request require much time and resources: ``` // If you don't need to grab attachments you can significantly increase performance of your application $mailbox->setAttachmentsIgnore(true); // get the list of folders/mailboxes $folders = $mailbox->getMailboxes('*'); // loop through mailboxs foreach($folders as $folder) { // switch to particular mailbox $mailbox->switchMailbox($folder['fullpath']); // search in particular mailbox $mails_ids[$folder['fullpath']] = $mailbox->searchMailbox('SINCE "1 Jan 2018" BEFORE "28 Jan 2018"'); } print_r($mails_ids); ``` ### Upgrading from 3.x [](#upgrading-from-3x) Prior to 3.1, `Mailbox` used a "magic" method (`Mailbox::imap()`), with the class `Imap` now performing it's purpose to call many `imap_*` functions with automated string encoding/decoding of arguments and return values: Before: ``` public function checkMailbox() { return $this->imap('check'); } ``` After: ``` public function checkMailbox(): object { return Imap::check($this->getImapStream()); } ``` ### Recommended [](#recommended) - Google Chrome extension [PHP Console](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/php-console/nfhmhhlpfleoednkpnnnkolmclajemef) - Google Chrome extension [JavaScript Errors Notifier](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/javascript-errors-notifie/jafmfknfnkoekkdocjiaipcnmkklaajd) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance52 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity3 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
