imap_fetchheader - Returns header for a message
Manual

imap_fetchheader( IMAP\Connection$imap, int$message_num, [int$flags = 0] ): string|false

This function causes a fetch of the complete, unfiltered RFC2822 format header of the specified message.

Parameters

imap

An IMAP\Connection instance.

message_num

The message number

flags

The possible flags are:

FT_UID - The message_num argument is a UID

FT_INTERNAL - The return string is in "internal" format, without any attempt to canonicalize to CRLF newlines

FT_PREFETCHTEXT - The RFC822.TEXT should be pre-fetched at the same time. This avoids an extra RTT on an IMAP connection if a full message text is desired (e.g. in a "save to local file" operation)

Return Values

Returns the header of the specified message as a text string, or false on failure.

Changelog
