Installing ---------- [](#installing) > N.b. A note on Ubuntu 14.04 (probably other Debian-based / Apt managed systems), the install of php5-imap does not enable the extension for CLI (possibly others as well), which can cause composer to report fetch requires `ext-imap` ``` sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/imap.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/30-imap.ini ``` ### Composer [](#composer) Installing Fetch can be done through a variety of methods, although Composer is recommended. Until Fetch reaches a stable API with version 1.0 it is recommended that you review changes before even Minor updates, although bug fixes will always be backwards compatible. ``` "require": { "tedivm/fetch": "0.7.*" } ``` ### Pear [](#pear) Fetch is also available through Pear. ``` $ pear channel-discover pear.tedivm.com $ pear install tedivm/Fetch ``` ### Github [](#github) Releases of Fetch are available on [Github](https://github.com/tedious/Fetch/releases). Sample Usage ------------ [](#sample-usage) This is just a simple code to show how to access messages by using Fetch. It uses Fetch own autoload, but it can (and should be, if applicable) replaced with the one generated by composer. ``` use Fetch\Server; use Fetch\Message; $server = new Server('imap.example.com', 993); $server->setAuthentication('username', 'password'); /** @var Message[] $message */ $messages = $server->getMessages(); foreach ($messages as $message) { echo "Subject: {$message->getSubject()}", PHP_EOL; echo "Body: {$message->getMessageBody()}", PHP_EOL; } ``` License ------- [](#license) Fetch is licensed under the BSD License. See the LICENSE file for details. ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 82% of packages Maintenance70 Regular maintenance activity Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 63.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
