Please note that the UID is NOT unique.
UID of the email may be not unique on the server (2 messages in different folders may have same UID).
Basically, don't use the UID as a unique identifier.
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
imap_body — Read the message body
$imap_stream
, int $msg_number
[, int $options = 0
] ) : string
imap_body() returns the body of the message,
numbered msg_number in the current
mailbox.
imap_body() will only return a verbatim copy of the message body. To extract single parts of a multipart MIME-encoded message you have to use imap_fetchstructure() to analyze its structure and imap_fetchbody() to extract a copy of a single body component.
imap_stream由 imap_open() 返回的 IMAP 流。
msg_numberThe message number
options
The optional options are a bit mask
with one or more of the following:
FT_UID - The msg_number is a UID
FT_PEEK - Do not set the \Seen flag if not already set
FT_INTERNAL - The return string is in internal format, will
not canonicalize to CRLF.
Returns the body of the specified message, as a string.
Please note that the UID is NOT unique.
UID of the email may be not unique on the server (2 messages in different folders may have same UID).
Basically, don't use the UID as a unique identifier.
NB the message numbers start from 1 not 0 as normally used for iterating.
Simple example on how to read body message of the recent mail.
<?php
$imap = imap_open("{pop.example.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}", "username", "password");
if( $imap ) {
//Check no.of.msgs
$num = imap_num_msg($imap);
//if there is a message in your inbox
if( $num >0 ) {
//read that mail recently arrived
echo imap_qprint(imap_body($imap, $num));
}
//close the stream
imap_close($imap);
}
?>
