imap_getmailboxes

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imap_getmailboxes — Liste les boîtes aux lettres, et retourne les détails de chacune

Description

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

Liste les boîtes aux lettres.

Liste de paramètres

imap

Une instance de IMAP\Connection.

reference

reference ne devrait être que le serveur sous la forme décrite dans imap_open()

Avertissement

Passer des données qui ne sont pas digne de confiance à ce paramètre est dangereux, sauf si, imap.enable_insecure_rsh est désactivé.

pattern

Spécifie la position dans la hiérarchie des boîtes aux lettres, où il faut commencer à chercher.

Il y a deux caractères spéciaux que vous pouvez utiliser dans pattern : '*' et '%'. '*' signifie : toutes les boîtes aux lettres. Si vous passez pattern comme '*', vous obtiendrez la liste complète des boîtes aux lettres de la hiérarchie. '%' signifie qu'on ne s'intéresse qu'au niveau courant. '%' passé à pattern ne retournera que les boîtes aux lettres de niveau supérieur; '~/mail/%' sous UW_IMAPD retournera toutes les boîtes aux lettres du dossier ~/mail directory, mais pas leurs enfants.

Valeurs de retour

Retourne un tableau d'objets contenant les informations sur les boîtes aux lettres. Chaque objet possède un attribut de name, qui contient le nom complet de la boîte aux lettres, delimiter qui est le délimiteur hiérarchique et attributes. attributes est un masque de bits, qui contient :

LATT_NOINFERIORS - Cette boîte aux lettres n'a pas d'"enfants" (il n'y a plus de boîtes aux lettres en dessous de celle-ci) et ne peut en contenir aucun. Un appel à la fonction imap_createmailbox() ne fonctionnera pas sur cette boîte.
LATT_NOSELECT - Ceci est juste un container, pas une boîte aux lettres (vous ne pouvez pas l'ouvrir).
LATT_MARKED - Cette boîte aux lettres est marquée. Ceci signifie qu'elle peut contenir des nouveaux messages depuis la dernière fois qu'elle a été vérifiée. Ce marqueur n'est pas fourni avec tous les serveurs IMAP.
LATT_UNMARKED - Cette boîte aux lettres n'est pas marquée et ne contient pas de nouveaux messages. Si MARKED ou UNMARKED est fourni, vous pouvez supposer que le serveur IMAP supporte cette fonctionnalité pour cette boîte aux lettres.
LATT_REFERRAL - Ce conteneur a une référence vers une boîte aux lettres distante.
LATT_HASCHILDREN - Cette boîte aux lettres a des inférieurs sélectionnables.
LATT_HASNOCHILDREN - Cette boîte aux lettres n'a pas d'inférieurs sélectionnables.

Retourne false en cas d'échec.

Historique

i am currently develop a simple IMAP client, when i call imap_getmailboxes() i receive a different values in attributes property of the mailbox object the problem is how can i manipulate these attributes to get a meaningful value,
if you make a hard search to find a solution for this, you will
not find any useful documents for this problem, let us take a closer look for this problem.

when i call imap_getmailboxes() against different IMAP servers i got these attribute values

[attributes] => 9
[attributes] => 1
[attributes] => 64
[attributes] => 32
[attributes] => 40 

the documentation tell us that we check this attributes against four constants, these contents are

LATT_NOINFERIORS 
LATT_NOSELECT 
LATT_MARKED
LATT_UNMARKED

the value of these constants are 

LATT_NOINFERIORS = 1
LATT_NOSELECT = 2
LATT_MARKED = 4
LATT_UNMARKED = 8

you can got this result by echo each constant, unfortunately the documentation not explain how we can check the attributes against the constants, after a long time of searching i find the answer in source code of c-client 
(you can get the source from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/)
under \src\c-client you will find mail.h open it and you will find this

                               /* terminal node in hierarchy */
#define LATT_NOINFERIORS (long) 0x1
                /* name can not be selected */
#define LATT_NOSELECT (long) 0x2
                /* changed since last accessed */
#define LATT_MARKED (long) 0x4
                /* accessed since last changed */
#define LATT_UNMARKED (long) 0x8
                /* name has referral to remote mailbox */
#define LATT_REFERRAL (long) 0x10
                /* has selectable inferiors */
#define LATT_HASCHILDREN (long) 0x20
                /* has no selectable inferiors */
#define LATT_HASNOCHILDREN (long) 0x40

as you notice here these are our four constants and three additional constants 

LATT_REFERRAL
LATT_HASCHILDREN
LATT_HASNOCHILDREN

then what is the value of these 3 attributes 
LATT_REFERRAL 0x10 = 00010000 in binary, the bitmask value is 2^4 = 16 and so on, or simply echo this constant to get the value, then

LATT_REFERRAL = 16
LATT_HASCHILDREN = 32
LATT_HASNOCHILDREN = 64

finally the full list of constants will be
LATT_NOINFERIORS = 1
LATT_NOSELECT = 2
LATT_MARKED = 4
LATT_UNMARKED = 8
LATT_REFERRAL = 16
LATT_HASCHILDREN = 32
LATT_HASNOCHILDREN = 64

ok let's back to our attributes 
[attributes] => 9
[attributes] => 1
[attributes] => 64
[attributes] => 32
[attributes] => 40 

[attributes] => 9 this mean it's LATT_UNMARKED and LATT_NOINFERIORS 1+8 =9

[attributes] => 1 this mean LATT_NOINFERIORS

[attributes] => 64 this mean LATT_HASNOCHILDREN

[attributes] => 32 this mean LATT_HASCHILDREN 

[attributes] => 40 this mean LATT_HASCHILDREN and LATT_UNMARKED 32+8=40

this just like linux file permission 7 mean read, write, and execute 4+2+1 read=4 write=2 execute=1

that is what i found, i hope this can help

The list of mailbox attributes in this document is very misleading. In particular the explanation of noinferiors is just wrong. It does not mean that the mailbox currently has no children, it means that it *cannot* have children ever. Also, it is untrue that marked and unmarked are only used by UW-IMAP. They are in the official IMAP specification and are used by at least Courier-imap as well.



One thing to watch out for, however, is broken IMAP servers which do send \Noinferiors when they mean that there are currently no children.



From the IMAP4rev1 specs (RFC 2060):

      \Noinferiors



         It is not possible for any child levels of hierarchy to exist

         under this name; no child levels exist now and none can be

         created in the future.



      \Noselect



         It is not possible to use this name as a selectable mailbox.



      \Marked



         The mailbox has been marked "interesting" by the server; the

         mailbox probably contains messages that have been added since

         the last time the mailbox was selected.



      \Unmarked



         The mailbox does not contain any additional messages since the

         last time the mailbox was selected.

In case you print_r() or var_dump() the object and see an int for attribute, these are the constant integers for the bitmask.

1 LATT_NOINFERIORS
2 LATT_NOSELECT
4 LATT_MARKED
8 LATT_UNMARKED

i was looking for a function to test the attributes.

and it was hard to find an answer or code.



Maybe there is a function availeble, but i couldn't find it.



the first function: returns all mailboxes in on the server



The second function: returns a bitstring from the attr_number returned by getmailboxes()



The tirth function: returns an array with the active attributes on the specific mailbox



Last Line: is a combination of the functions: the output is, any map witch can hold no mail but only sub boxes...



<?php

function getFolders($mailbox, $serverString) {



    $list = imap_getmailboxes($mailbox, $serverString, "*");

    if (is_array($list)) {

        foreach ($list as $key => $val) {

           $mapname = str_replace($serverString, "", imap_utf7_decode($val->name));

           if ($mapname[0] != ".") {

               $list_folders[$key]['name'] = $mapname;

               $list_folders[$key]['delimiter'] = $val->delimiter;

               $list_folders[$key]['attributes'] = $val->attributes;

           }

            

        }

    } else {

        echo "imap_getmailboxes failed: " . imap_last_error() . "\n";

    }



    return $list_folders;

function IntToBin($number) {

    $BitWaarde = 1;

    $IntNum = $number;

    $BinString = "";



    if ($IntNum > 0) {

     

        // bepaal de max bitwaarde aan de hand van $IntNum

        while ($IntNum > $BitWaarde) {

            $BitWaarde = $BitWaarde * 2;

        }

     

     

     

        // maken van een binaire string.

        while ($BitWaarde >= 1 ) {

            if ($IntNum < $BitWaarde) {

                if ($BinString != "") $BinString .= "0";

            } else {

                $IntNum = $IntNum-$BitWaarde;

            }

            $BitWaarde = $BitWaarde / 2;

        }

    

    }

    if ($BinInt >=10){

        $setAttribute['LATT_NOSELECT'] = true;

For the purposes of passing along the attributes as a json array, I wanted to pass the attributes as an indexed array to save on bandwidth and session storage.  The human readable translation is then performed in javascript by relating each key to the proper attribute label.  I also wanted a cleaner way of converting the attributes without calling another function or using a complex iteration. This puts each binary attribute into it's own array element for easy testing. 

<?php
$mailboxes = imap_getmailboxes($mailbox, $username, $password);

foreach($mailboxes as $key=>$mailbox){
   ...
   $attrs =  preg_split('//',str_pad(decbin($mailbox->attributes),7,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT),8);  // convert decimal to an array of attributes
   array_shift($attrs); // Remove the extra element at the front of the array in position 0
   ...
}
?>

With temporary variables, the conversion would look like this.

<?php
$attr_binary = decbin($mailbox->attributes);  // convert decimal to binary
$attr_binary = str_pad($attr_binary,7,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);  // pad with 0's on the left
$attrs = $preg_split('//',$attr_binary,8);  // split into an array after each character
array_shift($attrs);  // Remove the extra element at the front of the array in position 0
?>

By defining the attributes as a map to the array index, you can test as follows.

<?php
define("ATTR_NOINFERIORS",6);
define("ATTR_NOSELECT "5);
define("ATTR_MARKED ",4);
define("ATTR_UNMARKED ",3);
define("ATTR_REFERRAL ",2);
define("ATTR_HASCHILDREN ",1);
define("ATTR_HASNOCHILDREN ",0);

if ($attrs[ATTR_HASCHILDREN]){
 // do something
}
?>
