Bad message number error

Question

I am using a script to forward email addresses and getting bad message number error. the message number is parsed as an argument for the function and i am not sure how to get the message number and insert it as the argument. Please help. I am new to php. The error points out $structure = imap_fetchstructure($connection, $id, FT_UID); and $result['text'] = imap_body($connection, $id, FT_UID); parts. Please help me.

 <?php
require_once '../swift/lib/swift_required.php';

$username = 'email';
$password = 'password';

/* try to connect */
$connection = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Tiriyo: ' . imap_last_error());

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

Answer 1

The FT_UID flag means that you are using message uid, rather than message sequence id. In order to get the uid for a given message, you have to use the msg_uid() function.

Since you are beginner, I hardly think this was your question, so here is complete example how to get the headers and the content of a given message:

<?php

$emailAddress = '[email protected]';
$password = 'someSecretPassword';
$server = 'localhost';
$folder = 'Inbox';

$dsn = sprintf('{%s}%s', $server, $folder);
$mbox = imap_open($dsn, $emailAddress, $password);

if (!$mbox) {
    die ('Unable to connect');
}

$status = imap_status($mbox, $dsn, SA_ALL);
$msgs = imap_sort($mbox, SORTDATE, 1, SE_UID);

foreach ($msgs as $msguid) {
    $msgno = imap_msgno($mbox, $msguid);
    $headers = imap_headerinfo($mbox, $msgno);
    $structure = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $msguid, FT_UID);

    var_dump($headers);
    var_dump($structure);
}
