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);
?>
