imap_listscan
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
An IMAP\Connection instance.
- reference
-
reference should normally be just the server specification as described in imap_open
Warning:
Passing untrusted data to this parameter is insecure, unless imap.enable_insecure_rsh is disabled.
- 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
Return Values
Returns an array containing the names of the mailboxes that have content in the text of the mailbox, or false on failure.
