How to use Mail_Mbox
Before you can do anything with the mbox file, you
need to
create an
instance of the Mail_Mbox class and
open()
it.
<?php
require_once 'Mail/Mbox.php';
$mbox = new Mail_Mbox('/path/to/mbox');
$mbox->open();
//do more here
?> |
After opening the file, you can retrieve single messages via
get().
The
size()
method helps you to determine the number of messages:
<?php
//... initialisation
for ($n = 0; $n < $mbox->size(); $n++) {
$message = $mbox->get($n);
//do something with the message text
}
?> |
If you're done working with the file,
close()
it.
<?php
//... other code
$mbox->close();
?> |
