If you have the imap php extensions installed you could use them (they support
POP too) I normally work on systems without the imap enxtensions though so I
chose to make my own class to deal with POP3 related tasks. Here are some
snippets that you may find useful...
class POPClient {
..
function Connect(){
// connect to server
if(!$this->[EMAIL PROTECTED]($this->server, $this->port)){
$this->error = "Could not connect to
{$this->server}:{$this->port}";
return FALSE;
}
// login to server:
fputs($this->sock, "USER {$this->user}\r\n");
$buf = fgets($this->sock, 1024);
if($buf[0] != '+'){
$this->error = "Invalid username: {$this->user}";
return FALSE;
}
fputs($this->sock, "PASS {$this->pass}\r\n");
$buf = fgets($this->sock, 1024);
if($buf[0] != '+') {
$this->error = "Invalid password";
return FALSE;
}
$this->connected = TRUE;
return TRUE;
}
<snip>
function MessageCount(){
if($this->connected){
fputs($this->sock, "STAT\r\n");
$buf = fgets($this->sock, 1024);
$buf = fgets($this->sock, 1024);
$statbits = split(' ', $buf, 3);
if(isset($statbits[1])){
return $statbits[1];
} else {
return 0;
}
} else {
$this->error = "Not connected to server";
return FALSE;
}
}
<snip>
function RetrieveMsg($id, $headonly=FALSE){
if($this->connected){
if($headonly){ $command="TOP"; $param=" 0"; } else {
$command="RETR"; $param=""; }
fputs($this->sock, "$command $id$param\r\n");
$buf = fgets($this->sock, 1024);
if($buf[0] != '+') {
$this->error = "Mail server would not let me retrieve message
$id";
return FALSE;
}
$message="";$thisline="";
while ($thisline!=".\r\n"){ // .\r\n signifies the end of the
message
$thisline = fgets($this->sock, 1024);
$this->messagesource .= $thisline;
}
return TRUE;
} else {
$this->error = "Not connected to server";
return FALSE;
}
}
<snip>
