Description

array imap_listscan ( resource $imap_stream , string $ref , string $pattern , string $content )

Returns an array containing the names of the mailboxes that have content in the text of the mailbox.

This function is similar to imap_listmailbox(), but it will additionally check for the presence of the string content inside the mailbox data.

Parameters

imap_stream

An IMAP stream returned by imap_open().

ref

ref should normally be just the server specification as described in imap_open()

pattern

Specifies where in the mailbox hierarchy to start searching.

There are two special characters you can pass as part of the pattern : '*' and '%'. '*' means to return all mailboxes. If you pass pattern as '*', you will get a list of the entire mailbox hierarchy. '%' means to return the current level only. '%' as the pattern parameter will return only the top level mailboxes; '~/mail/%' on UW_IMAPD will return every mailbox in the ~/mail directory, but none in subfolders of that directory

content

The searched string
