Hi!

This is the first post on this wiki article because if you don’t (as the author of a wiki page) make a first post, then you’ll never know if someone starts talking about it…

Hope you like peeker. Please give me feedback.

And if you want help with something: MAKE SURE you POST CODE. grin

I was pretty excited to have come across your library—but I’m having trouble implementing it. I’m using CodeIgniter 2.0.3. Is there any other special setup I’m missing?

-Thank you!

smile Basically I tried the test function recommended by the documentation.

class Test_read extends CI_Controller {
    public function index() {
        echo 'test';
        
        // this shows basic IMAP, no TLS required
        $config['login']='?@gmail.com';
        $config['pass']='password';
        $config['server']='imap.gmail.com:993';
        $config['service_flags'] = '/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert'; 
        
        $this->load->library('peeker', $config);
        
        if ($this->peeker->message_waiting())
        {
        echo 'Message count:' . $this->peeker->get_message_count();
        }
        else
        {
        echo 'No messages waiting.';
        }
        
        $this->peeker->close();
        
        // tell the story of the connection
        print_r($this->peeker->trace());
    }
} 

Here is the result/error message:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: host
Filename: libraries/peeker_connect.php
Line Number: 55

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: port
Filename: libraries/peeker_connect.php
Line Number: 56

And “the story of the connection”:
No messages waiting.Array ( [0] => Can’t open mailbox {:/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX [1] => Not connected. No email resource at: {:/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX [2] => Connection could not be closed. No Mail resource. )

ok! great. now i can easily see what is happening. and i have to apologize - the sample code in the docs is not in synch with the latest version of peeker… i will fix the docs.

the proper usage is below. basically, instead of using one ‘server’ parameter it now uses two (host and port):

OLD:

$config['server']='imap.gmail.com:993'; 

NEW:

$config['host']='imap.gmail.com'; 
$config['port']='993'; 

i believe that is what is causing the errors. let me know!

EDIT: updated bitbucket repo - thanks for the feedback. grin

Dear sophistry,

i am testing your great library - everything is working like a charm but still one thing dont work for me .

I want to process only unread emails and then mark them as read. I am using IMAP and still getting all emails (read and unread).

Here is my code:

/config/peeker.php

$config['login']='xxx@xxx.sk';
$config['pass']='xxxxx';
$config['host']='localhost';
$config['port']='993';
$config['service_flags'] = '/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert';
$config['mailbox'] = 'INBOX'; 

/controllers/test.php

$this->load->library('peeker/peeker');

if ($this->peeker->message_waiting())
{
    $message_count = $this->peeker->get_message_count(); 
    debug_var($message_count);
    $ems = $this->peeker->get_message('1', $message_count); 
    debug_var($ems);
}
else
{
echo 'No messages waiting.';
}

$this->peeker->close(); 

... and i am still getting all that emails… How i can achieve to hide readed emails from processing without need to store some information in db?

try this:

$this->peeker->flag_mail($message_num,'\\Seen'); 

EDIT:
or this ($e is an email message object):

$e->flag_seen(); 

let me know if that works. i’ve been relying on gmail’s INBOX handling on IMAP so this happens automatically.

cheers.

Yes, that will mark them as read, but still i am getting all that read mails. I think that behaviour depends on mail server settings. I have my own mail server, but i dont want to mess with that settings so I will try to use set_search function for finding unread mails.

But still thanks for your very fast response and for your great library smile

How about this:

$e->flag_seen_move_mail('mailbox_name');

if ($this->peeker->message_waiting())
        {
            $message_count = $this->peeker->get_message_count();
            print "Found $message_count  ";
            $ems = $this->peeker->get_message('1', $message_count);
            foreach($ems as $email)
            {
                print "<hr>";
                print_r($email);
                $x = $email->header_string;
                $y = explode("\r\n", $x);
            }
        } 

print_r($email) never has a message id - however as I’m checking for bounces I don’t think this will be set to the correct value anyway. Never mind.

yes. there are actually several “message identifiers” in peeker.

the standard mime-mail message-id header is one of them, but as you see it is not set by the mail transport in certain circumstances so it comes in blank or like this: <>.

another “message identifier” in peeker is the $Msgno property which has the numerical index of the message in the context of the current mail getting sequence/request - it is not a fixed value but comes as an aftereffect of the order of the messages on the IMAP or POP server.

and finally there is the $fingerprint “message identifier” which is an attempt to make it easy to create a unique KEY has based on developer-defined email charactersistics that get fed into a hash.

cheers.

Hello and thanks for this library.

I am trying to perform a search and depending on the search result i want to retrieve some minor (subject, date etc) header information.

$config['login']='user@domain.com';
$config['pass']='xxxxxx';
$config['host']='mail.domain.com';
$config['port']='XXX';
$config['service_flags'] = '/imap/notls';
$config['mailbox'] = 'INBOX';

$this->load->library('peeker/peeker', $config);
$this->peeker->set_search('FROM "name@email.com"');
$search_result = $this->peeker->get_ids_from_search();

foreach($search_result as $v)
{
  $ems = $this->peeker->get_message($v);
  $messages[$v]['subject'] = $ems->subject;  
  $messages[$v]['date'] = $ems->date;
  $messages[$v]['sender'] = $ems->senderaddress;
} 

Above is the code i would use, but unfortunately “get_message” returns a big object and is very memory intensive.
Is there any other way to receive a list of search rusult messages?

Thanks for your advice.

hi ldz and welcome to CI!

yes, if you ONLY want header information (to conserve memory for instance) you can use a slightly different approach to do it.

DO NOT use the get_message() function; use message() instead.

1) set the message class that you want peeker to use to handle the messages. in your case it is the peeker_header class in the included peeker_header.php file. that class will ONLY access the header data for an email - not any body data.

2) get the email object using the message() function rather than get_message()

//peeker_header.php file must be in same directory as peeker.php (it is there in the default source distribution)
$this->peeker->set_message_class('peeker_header');
// get just the headers of the first email message
$email_object = $this->peeker->message(1); 

if you have any problems check the documentation or post code here.

good luck and let us know how it goes.

cheers.
