imap_getmailboxes — Read the list of mailboxes, returning detailed information on each one
$imap_stream
, string $ref
, string $pattern
)Gets information on the mailboxes.
imap_stream
由 imap_open() 返回的 IMAP 流。
ref
ref
should normally be just the server
specification as described in imap_open()
pattern
指定在邮箱层级的何处开始查找。
在组成 pattern
的字符中可使用两个特殊字符:
'*' 和 '%'。
'*' 是指返回所有邮箱目录. 如果将 '*' 作为
pattern
参数时, 则会返回整个邮箱层级结构。
'%' 是指只返回当前级次。
'%' 作为 pattern
参数则只会返回顶层邮箱;
'~/mail/%' 用于 UW_IMAPD
则会返回名为 ~/mail 的目录, 但不包含其子目录。
Returns an array of objects containing mailbox information. Each
object has the attributes name
, specifying
the full name of the mailbox; delimiter
,
which is the hierarchy delimiter for the part of the hierarchy
this mailbox is in; and
attributes
. Attributes
is a bitmask that can be tested against:
LATT_NOINFERIORS
- This mailbox contains, and may not contain any
"children" (there are no mailboxes below this one). Calling
imap_createmailbox() will not work on this mailbox.
LATT_NOSELECT
- This is only a container,
not a mailbox - you cannot open it.
LATT_MARKED
- This mailbox is marked. This means that it may
contain new messages since the last time it was checked. Not provided by all IMAP
servers.
LATT_UNMARKED
- This mailbox is not marked, does not contain new
messages. If either MARKED
or UNMARKED
is
provided, you can assume the IMAP server supports this feature for this mailbox.
Example #1 imap_getmailboxes() example
<?php
$mbox = imap_open ( "{imap.example.org}" , "username" , "password" , OP_HALFOPEN )
or die( "can't connect: " . imap_last_error ());
$list = imap_getmailboxes ( $mbox , "{imap.example.org}" , "*" );
if ( is_array ( $list )) {
foreach ( $list as $key => $val ) {
echo "( $key ) " ;
echo imap_utf7_decode ( $val -> name ) . "," ;
echo "'" . $val -> delimiter . "'," ;
echo $val -> attributes . "<br />\n" ;
}
} else {
echo "imap_getmailboxes failed: " . imap_last_error () . "\n" ;
}
imap_close ( $mbox );
?>

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
}
?>

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
#define LATT_NOINFERIORS (long) 0x1
#define LATT_NOSELECT (long) 0x2
#define LATT_MARKED (long) 0x4
#define LATT_UNMARKED (long) 0x8
#define LATT_REFERRAL (long) 0x10
#define LATT_HASCHILDREN (long) 0x20
#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

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;

if ($BinString != "") $BinString .= "0";
} else {
$BinString .= "1";
$IntNum = $IntNum-$BitWaarde;
}
$BitWaarde = $BitWaarde / 2;
}
}
return $BinString;

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

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.
