[imap_search]

If I only try this code:

 

$matches = imap_search($link, "SUBJECT \"$keywords\"");

 

I get an array of msg IDs that matched.  However, when I try this code:

 

$matches = imap_search($link, "BODY \"$keywords\"");

 

...then the function returns false.  Is this a problem with the implementation, or is there some other "magic phrasing" I need to use, in order to search the body of messages for a keyword?

[imap_search]

Hello,

 

I am having trouble getting any results back from the imap_search function.  I assume it has to do with getting the right query string.

 

I am grabbing a string of keywords from an HTML form input box, and (trying to) search the IMAP inbox for messages which contain the $keywords string in either the BODY or the SUBJECT.  Can anyone lend some help with the correct string to send to the server?  I keep getting nothing back, meaning that the server doesn't understand the query.

 

$link = imap_open($server, $UN, $PW) or die(imap_last_error());

$matches = imap_search($link, "BODY \"$keywords\" SUBJECT \"$keywords\"");

if ($matches === false)
{
   echo "Server didn't understand query.<p>";
   echo imap_last_error();
}

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

 

[Displaying inline images in HTML email]

I figured out what you were getting at, a couple days after the fact.  Must have been short on sleep then...

 

I was able to get images to display without storing them first.  Just did a simple show script that kicks out the content-type header and the image, but can be referenced in the <img> tag as the source... basically like returning a file, but just a stream of data.

 

Thanks for the help.

[Displaying inline images in HTML email]

Thanks for the reply.

 

Actually, I'm looking for a way to display messages that are read from an IMAP server, without needing to dismantle/store the various parts in a database.  Just read and display, like any ol' webmail.  I tried looking at the code for a few apps like SquirrelMail, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.  It's pretty complex.  I just want to do something very very simple, so I can understand how it works.

[Displaying inline images in HTML email]

If I simply output the file using readfile() or something like it, how does the web browser know that the data is for use as the cid:blahblah image?  I know I could use header() to add "Content-Type" image/whateveritis", "Content-Disposition: inline", etc., but what should I use in the "filename" parameter of "Content-Disposition"?  Would it be the actual name of the file, or the ID parameter, which is referenced in the HTML code (<img src="cid:blahblah">)?

 

Thanks, hope someone can help.  Much appreciated!

[Displaying inline images in HTML email]

 

Hello,

 

I am attempting to understand PHP's email functions and writing my own simple mail display script.  I have so far been able to snag the HTML part of email messages, but I'm having trouble with inline images contained in a message.  I can figure out which body part contains the image, and I can load the data from the message into a variable, decoding/converting as need be.  What I can't figure out, though, is how to get the image to display in the browser when I echo the HTML message body. 

 

Here's the way I've been approaching the problem thus far:

 

1. Use imap_fetchstructure to get info on a message.

2. Analyze the parts to find body part numbers for the HTML and the image(s).

3. Echo the HTML to the browser.

 

The HTML sent to the browser contains <img src="cid:bunchanumbers">.  How do I get the image to show up in that spot?

 

Thanks muchos,

 

Jeff

How about PHP-GTK books? The only one that turns up on Amazon/Borders is written in Portugese... there must be some more out there somewhere! I've had a hard time even finding many (good) tutorials on the web, other than your standard "Hello, World!"
