imap_delete — Mark a message for deletion from current mailbox

Description

bool imap_delete ( resource $imap_stream , int $msg_number [, int $options= 0 ] )

Parameters

An IMAP stream returned by imap_open().

msg_number

The message number

options

You can set the FT_UID which tells the function to treat the msg_number argument as an UID.

Return Values

Returns TRUE.

Examples

Example #1 imap_delete() example

<?php

$mbox = imap_open("{imap.example.org}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);
?>

Notes

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.
