IMAP_SEARCH(3)								 1							    IMAP_SEARCH(3)

imap_search - This function returns an array of messages matching the given search criteria

SYNOPSIS

       array imap_search (resource  $imap_stream, string  $criteria, [int  $options = SE_FREE], [string  $charset = NIL])

DESCRIPTION

	This function performs a search on the mailbox currently opened in the given IMAP stream.

	For  example, to match all unanswered messages sent by Mom, you'd use: "UNANSWERED FROM mom". Searches appear to be case insensitive. This
       list of criteria is from a reading of the UW c-client source code and may be incomplete or inaccurate (see also RFC2060, section 6.4.4).

PARAMETERS

	      o $
		imap_stream -An IMAP stream returned by imap_open(3).

	      o $criteria
		- A string, delimited by spaces, in which the following keywords are allowed. Any multi-word arguments (e.g.  FROM  "joey  smith")
		must be quoted. Results will match all $criteria entries.

		     o ALL - return all messages matching the rest of the criteria

		     o ANSWERED - match messages with the \ANSWERED flag set

		     o BCC "string" - match messages with "string" in the Bcc: field

		     o BEFORE "date" - match messages with Date: before "date"

		     o BODY "string" - match messages with "string" in the body of the message

		     o CC "string" - match messages with "string" in the Cc: field

		     o DELETED - match deleted messages

		     o FLAGGED - match messages with the \FLAGGED (sometimes referred to as Important or Urgent) flag set

		     o FROM "string" - match messages with "string" in the From: field

		     o KEYWORD "string" - match messages with "string" as a keyword

		     o NEW - match new messages

		     o OLD - match old messages

		     o ON "date" - match messages with Date: matching "date"

		     o RECENT - match messages with the \RECENT flag set

		     o SEEN - match messages that have been read (the \SEEN flag is set)

		     o SINCE "date" - match messages with Date: after "date"

		     o SUBJECT "string" - match messages with "string" in the Subject:

		     o TEXT "string" - match messages with text "string"

		     o TO "string" - match messages with "string" in the To:

		     o UNANSWERED - match messages that have not been answered

		     o UNDELETED - match messages that are not deleted

		     o UNFLAGGED - match messages that are not flagged

		     o UNKEYWORD "string" - match messages that do not have the keyword "string"

		     o UNSEEN - match messages which have not been read yet

	      o $options
		- Valid values for $options are SE_UID, which causes the returned array to contain UIDs instead of messages sequence numbers.

	      o $charset
		-

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an array of message numbers or UIDs.

	Return FALSE if it does not understand the search $criteria or no messages have been found.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      imap_search(3) example

	      <?php
	      $conn   = imap_open('{imap.example.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'foo@example.com', 'pass123', OP_READONLY);

	      $some   = imap_search($conn, 'SUBJECT "HOWTO be Awesome" SINCE "8 August 2008"', SE_UID);
	      $msgnos = imap_search($conn, 'ALL');
	      $uids   = imap_search($conn, 'ALL', SE_UID);

	      print_r($some);
	      print_r($msgnos);
	      print_r($uids);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Array
	      (
		  [0] => 4
		  [1] => 6
		  [2] => 11
	      )
	      Array
	      (
		  [0] => 1
		  [1] => 2
		  [2] => 3
		  [3] => 4
		  [4] => 5
		  [5] => 6
	      )
	      Array
	      (
		  [0] => 1
		  [1] => 4
		  [2] => 6
		  [3] => 8
		  [4] => 11
		  [5] => 12
	      )
