imap_fetchheader

Description

string imap_fetchheader ( resource imap_stream, int msgno [, int options] )

This function causes a fetch of the complete, unfiltered RFC2822 format header of the specified message as a text string and returns that text string.

The options are:

FT_UID - The msgno argument is a UID
FT_INTERNAL - The return string is in "internal" format, without any attempt to canonicalize to CRLF newlines
FT_PREFETCHTEXT - The RFC822.TEXT should be pre-fetched at the same time. This avoids an extra RTT on an IMAP connection if a full message text is desired (e.g. in a "save to local file" operation)

I spend lot of time find out how I can detect messages with

different priorities. When I read users notes I remember

function imap_fetchheader which show header of message

and additional headers too. Because I'm so lazy to work with

regular expressions I required my frend for writing code

- thanx Znouza.

And there is... :)



<?php

    // connecting to imap mailserver

    $connection = @imap_open("{localhost:143/imap}INBOX", "your_username", "your_password");



    // get imap_fetch header and put single lines into array

    $header = explode("\n", imap_fetchheader($connection, 1));



    // browse array for additional headers

    if (is_array($header) && count($header)) {

        $head = array();

        foreach($header as $line) {

            // is line with additional header?

            if (eregi("^X-", $line)) {

                // separate name and value

                eregi("^([^:]*): (.*)", $line, $arg);

                $head[$arg[1]] = $arg[2];

            }

        }

    }



    // now are all contained additional headers in array $head

?>
