son.of.the.morning

I am using Imap to get emails and store them localy, it's all working fine so far, however i dont want to drag out the footer of the email body (previous emails and whjat not!)

Seen as this is a Php forum and it's specifically in the "Php coding help" section i would of thought that it was pretty self-explanatory that it was a PHP related question.

The fastest way to sync email up to a database from gMail?

Any one have any idea on how i can retreive the body of an email with imap_fetchbody() with pulling in the attachments?

I was just asking if any one had done it to discuss it in order to get some ideas or warning of things to aviod ect. I have already began the project and all seems to be going well atm.

I am trying to bring in only unread mail but when i load in emails it marks them as read. Is there a way to prevent this?

Due to the lack of speed that Imap provides i have to write some filters to avoid bringing in countless un-needed emails. I have had a little mess with the sort functions and other functions Imap has to offer but i can?t seem to drag out email in a specific order using imap_sort(). // Connection method function _connection() { $this->dir = imap_open($this->host,$this->user,$this->password); if($this->dir!=FALSE) { return 'Connection successful.'; return $this->dir; } else { return 'Connection error: '; return imap_last_error(); } } // List emails method function _readMail() { if($this->collect) { $i = 0; $mail = array(); for($i=1; $i<20; $i++) { $details = imap_fetch_overview($this->dir,$i,0); $body = imap_fetchbody($this->dir,$i,2); $status = $details[0]->seen ? 'read' : 'unread'; $from = $details[0]->from; $date = $details[0]->date; if(isset($details[0]->subject)) $subject = $details[0]->subject ; else $subject = 'no subject'; if(isset($details[0]->parts)) $attach = 'yes'; else $attach = 'no'; if($status='unread') { $mail[$i] = (array( 'subject' => $subject, 'status' => $status, 'from' => $from, 'date' => $date, 'attach' => $attach ) ); } }// endforeach } // endif if(count($mail) < 0) { return 'Alert: No mail in your inbox ('.$user.')'; } else { return $mail; } }

I just want to be able to pull out emails and store selected emails in to a database

I am using imap to receive emails from my gmail but it?s going horrendously slow and won?t even work if i don?t limit the select to less 60. any ideas?

In some cases i think it's a good thing to think outside the box and use custom controls rather than sticking to the native behaviour. There is always a way to programmatically make un-native elements work universally. Anyway that?s completely besides the point. What i was trying to explain is that I wanted to trigger the onclick event of a select element via an alternative element. (I.e. click a button and the corresponding select element will drop down). The reason behind this is I didn?t want the dropdown box to display on the iphone I just wanted a simple button which would append the value once select. Once the button would be click the iphone would then respond by showing the list items (in the iphones native way). I coded up a few lil code concoctions till i the penny dropped and i used a much more simple approach using CSS. I set the select elements opacity to 0 and placed the button over the top of it and just used a simple onChange event on the select element with simply append the button with the selected value. Works like a charm!

I am about to start a this new project and was wondering if anyone was able to give me some DECENT words of advice. I need to be able to connect up to Gmail accounts and drag in email from a specific folder and display in multiple ways (i.e: list view, singular view). Once these emails have been read (accessed on a singular view) then I want to pass them into a database and assign them with a ticket number (id). With every reply from the system user there will be an appended footer containing the ticket number. I plan to write some clever javascript to search for a ticket number in every email and compare it with ticket ids stored in the database. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome.

That would be a good start haha, I have already looking over the functions available. However a need some ideas on how to go about building a class (set of) to cater for what i need. I was hoping that some people may have encounter this issue them self?s.

Hey people, I need some collaborative thoughts here. I need to build up a class for email management using the Imap functionality. This is something i know nothing about so i need to understand and find a good solid approach to it. Fundamentally the class will need several methods... 1. Connection 2. Count 3. List display 4. Individually read 5. Close connection

Hey peeps, does anyone know of a way were i can have a button trigger a select element on a click event. For example i would like a simple button to be clicked and the drop down options to apear. This is for mobile development (esp. iphone)

I have been picking up cakephp for the last few months and i feel rather comfortable with it. I just want to see what other people find to be complex issues when programming in php so i can give them a shot and not only pick up on it but also test my current understanding
