imap_append

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

imap_append — 특정 메일박스에 문자열 메시지를 덧붙인다.

Description

int imap_append ( int $imap_stream , string $mbox , string $message [, string $flags ] )

성공하면 TRUE를 에러가 발생하면 FALSE를 리턴한다.

imap_append()함수는 특정 메일박스mbox 에 문자열 메시지를 덧붙인다. 선택적 인수flags 가 부여되면, flags 도 그 메일박스에 쓴다.

Cyrus IMAP 서버에 접근할 때에는, end-of-line terminator로 "\n" 대신에 "\r\n"을 사용해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 실패할 것이다.

Example#1 imap_append() example


$stream = imap_open("{your.imap.host}INBOX.Drafts","username", "password");

$check = imap_check($stream);
print "Msg Count before append: ". $check->Nmsgs."\n";

imap_append($stream,"{your.imap.host}INBOX.Drafts"
                   ,"From: me@my.host\r\n"
                   ."To: you@your.host\r\n"
                   ."Subject: test\r\n"
                   ."\r\n"
                   ."this is a test message, please ignore\r\n"
                   );

$check = imap_check($stream);
print "Msg Count after append : ". $check->Nmsgs."\n";

imap_close($stream);

I spend most of today refining the example to make it work properly when saving to the Inbox.Sent folder.



The append command now looks like:



    $return = imap_append($stream,$mailbox_addr

                       , "From: $fromReply\r\n"

                       . "To: $to\r\n"

                       . "Subject: $subject\r\n"

                       . "Date: $now  \r\n"

              . "X-Mailer: Cmail_v2.0 \r\n"

                       . "X-Originating-IP: $ip_addr \r\n"

                       . "MIME-Version: 1 \r\n"

                       . "Content-Type: text/html;\r\n\tcharset=\"ISO-8859-1\"\r\n"

                       . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit \r\n"

                       . "\r\n\r\n"

                       . "$wk_msg\r\n"

                       );



This inserts the current date into the email and lets it support html content. The one thing that I haven't got working yet is including attachments. I presumably have to make the boundaries and attachment content part of the message body.

The last argument, $options, are flags like for use with imap_setflag_full.

It took a while before I found out

I have used this function to copy all the emails of one account from one server to another. The problem was that this function don't copy the original receiving date for each message.

To add a fifth field to provide the date, I have made some changes at some php source files following the steps described in http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200303/msg00843.html and it has worked fine.

The correct date format is the returned by the function mail_date in c-client/mail.c source file, for instance: "17-Jan-2007 10:00:01 +0100"

The parameter description is misleading.  You can pass a string of flags such as '\Seen' [see imap_setflag_full()] as the last argument.  In the other imap functions, 'options' seems to usually refer to a bitmask, not message flags.

I use imap_append() to decode message/rfc822 attachments type(embedded emails):



$attachment = imap_fetchbody($mbox,$mailuid,$atpos,FT_UID);

$attachment = imap_base64($attachment);

$res =  imap_append($mbox,mboxspec("INBOX"),$attachment);

//the embedded email is now a normal mail in my INBOX

i used imap_append to copy any composed message into INBOX.Sent folder..



$app = imap_append($stream,"{" . $connectstring . "}INBOX.Sent","$header\r\n" ."$mbody\r\n");



if (!$app) {

 error("Email copying to Sent folder FAILED!");

}

With SIMS IMAP server you also need to use \r\n as a line terminator, otherwise you will be able to add all the header lines correctly, but the body of the message will not be saved.<br>


You can use \n by itself for each header line, but when creating the blank line between the headers and the body you must use \r\n\r\n

Please observe that imap_append() do not support NNTP posting. Use fsockopen() instead, and do the work yourself.
