README
Extends pear/Net_IMAP and provides support for the IMAP IDLE command (RFC 2177).
Installation
Add the following lines to your composer.json file:
{
"require": {
"noi/imap-idle": "*"
},
"repositories": [
{
"type": "pear",
"url": "pear.php.net"
}
]
}
and run Composer install:
$ php composer.phar install
(23-Sep-2013) If you get something similar to the following error:
[UnexpectedValueException] Failed to extract PEAR package /path/to/Net_IMAP/Net_IMAP-1.1.2.tgz to /path/to/Net_IMAP. Reason: Invalid PEAR package. package.xml defines file that is not located inside tarball.
To get beyond this error, you need to add the following lines instead:
{
"require": {
"noi/imap-idle": "dev-master"
},
"repositories": [
{
"type": "package",
"package": {
"name": "pear-pear/Net_IMAP",
"version": "1.1.2",
"source": {
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/pear/Net_IMAP.git",
"reference": "1.1.2"
},
"require": {
"pear-pear/Net_Socket": ">=1.0.8"
},
"autoload": {
"classmap": ["./Net/"]
},
"include-path": ["./"]
}
},
{
"type": "pear",
"url": "pear.php.net"
}
]
}
It seems that this error is caused by Bug #19730.
Usage
<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $imap = new \Noi\Util\Mail\ImapIdleClient('your.imap.host', 993); $imap->login('username', 'password'); $imap->selectMailbox('INBOX'); while (!$imap->idle(300) instanceof \PEAR_Error) { $mails = $imap->search('UNSEEN'); foreach ($imap->getMessages($mails) as $mail) { echo '==== New Message ====', "\n"; echo $mail, "\n"; } }
