imap_getmailboxes -- 
     Read the list of mailboxes, returning detailed information on
     each one
    
Description
array 
imap_getmailboxes ( resource imap_stream, string ref, string pattern )
     Returns an array of objects containing mailbox information. Each
     object has the attributes name, specifying
     the full name of the mailbox; delimiter,
     which is the hierarchy delimiter for the part of the hierarchy
     this mailbox is in; and
     attributes. Attributes
     is a bitmask that can be tested against:
     
        LATT_NOINFERIORS - This mailbox has no 
        "children" (there are no mailboxes below this one).
       
        LATT_NOSELECT - This is only a container, 
        not a mailbox - you cannot open it.
       
        LATT_MARKED - This mailbox is marked. 
        Only used by UW-IMAPD.
       
 
        LATT_UNMARKED - This mailbox is not marked. 
        Only used by UW-IMAPD.
       
    
     Mailbox names containing international Characters outside the
     printable ASCII range will be encoded and may be decoded by
     imap_utf7_decode().
    
     ref should normally be just the server
     specification as described in imap_open(), and
     pattern specifies where in the mailbox
     hierarchy to start searching. If you want all mailboxes, pass
     '*' for pattern.
    
     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.
    
     
Example 1. imap_getmailboxes() example 
<?php $mbox = imap_open("{imap.example.org}", "username", "password", OP_HALFOPEN)       or die("can't connect: " . imap_last_error());   $list = imap_getmailboxes($mbox, "{imap.example.org}", "*"); if (is_array($list)) {     foreach ($list as $key => $val) {         echo "($key) ";         echo imap_utf7_decode($val->name) . ",";         echo "'" . $val->delimiter . "',";         echo $val->attributes . "<br />\n";     } } else {     echo "imap_getmailboxes failed: " . imap_last_error() . "\n"; }   imap_close($mbox); ?>
