imap_delete

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

imap_delete -- Mark a message for deletion from current mailbox

Description

bool imap_delete ( int imap_stream, int msg_number [, int options] )

Returns TRUE.

imap_delete() marks messages listed in msg_number for deletion. The optional flags parameter only has a single option, FT_UID, which tells the function to treat the msg_number argument as a UID. Messages marked for deletion will stay in the mailbox until either imap_expunge() is called or imap_close() is called with the optional parameter CL_EXPUNGE.

Note: POP3 mailboxes do not have their message flags saved between connections, so imap_expunge() must be called during the same connection in order for messages marked for deletion to actually be purged.

Example 1. imap_delete() example
<?php $mbox = imap_open("{your.imap.host}INBOX", "username", "password") or die("Can't connect: " . imap_last_error()); $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); echo "Messages before delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n"; imap_delete($mbox, 1); $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); echo "Messages after delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n"; imap_expunge($mbox); $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); echo "Messages after expunge: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n"; imap_close($mbox); ?>
