fetch's Introduction

Fetch

Fetch is a library for reading email and attachments, primarily using the POP and IMAP protocols.

Installing

N.b. A note on Ubuntu 14.04 (probably other Debian-based / Apt managed systems), the install of php5-imap does not enable the extension for CLI (possibly others as well), which can cause composer to report fetch requires ext-imap

sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/imap.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/30-imap.ini

Composer

Installing Fetch can be done through a variety of methods, although Composer is recommended.

Until Fetch reaches a stable API with version 1.0 it is recommended that you review changes before even Minor updates, although bug fixes will always be backwards compatible.

"require": {
  "tedivm/fetch": "0.6.*"
}

Pear

Fetch is also available through Pear.

$ pear channel-discover pear.tedivm.com
$ pear install tedivm/Fetch

Github

Releases of Fetch are available on Github.

Sample Usage

This is just a simple code to show how to access messages by using Fetch. It uses Fetch own autoload, but it can (and should be, if applicable) replaced with the one generated by composer.

$server = new \Fetch\Server('imap.example.com', 993);
$server->setAuthentication('dummy', 'dummy');


$messages = $server->getMessages();
/** @var $message \Fetch\Message */
foreach ($messages as $message) {
    echo "Subject: {$message->getSubject()}\nBody: {$message->getMessageBody()}\n";
}
