(PHP Extension) Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$imap = new CkImap();

// To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
$imap->put_Ssl(true);
// The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
$imap->put_Port(993);

// Connect to an IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Connect('imap.example.com');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Login
$success = $imap->Login('myLogin','myPassword');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox');
if ($success == false) {

$success = $imap->QueryMbx('ALL',$fetchUids,$messageSet);
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
$bundle = new CkEmailBundle();
$headersOnly = false;
$success = $imap->FetchMsgSet($headersOnly,$messageSet,$bundle);
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
$email = new CkEmail();
$i = 0;
$numEmails = $bundle->get_MessageCount();
while ($i < $numEmails) {
    $bundle->EmailAt($i,$email);

    print $email->from() . "\n";
    print $email->subject() . "\n";
    print '--' . "\n";
    $i = $i + 1;
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Disconnect();
