imap_getmailboxes — Read the list of mailboxes, returning detailed information on each one
Gets information on the mailboxes.
imapAn IMAP\Connection instance.
reference
reference should normally be just the server
specification as described in imap_open()
Passing untrusted data to this parameter is insecure, unless imap.enable_insecure_rsh is disabled.
patternSpecifies where in the mailbox hierarchy to start searching.
There are two special characters you can
pass as part of the pattern:
'*' and '%'.
'*' means to return all mailboxes. If you pass
pattern as '*', you will
get a list of the entire mailbox hierarchy.
'%'
means to return the current level only.
'%' as the pattern
parameter will return only the top level
mailboxes; '~/mail/%' on UW_IMAPD will return every mailbox in the ~/mail directory, but none in subfolders of that directory.
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 not 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.
LATT_REFERRAL - This container has a referral to a remote mailbox.
LATT_HASCHILDREN - This mailbox has selectable inferiors.
LATT_HASNOCHILDREN - This mailbox has no selectable inferiors.
false on failure.
