PHP IMAP check mail script

[netadmin]

Does anyone know of a php script that will open an IMAP mailbox and echo the number of unread messages (You have X unread messages)?

I am trying to design a portal for our staff members, so they can see at a glance whether they have new email.

Hi,

According to the PHP website, this (in a nutshell) should work:

//check for new messages
$mailbox = imap_open("{localhost/pop3:110}INBOX","#username#","#password#");
// Check messages
$check = imap_check($mailbox);
print("Number of messages : " . $check->Nmsgs);

Failing that, you could try PHP Classes for a more complete class that will help with all aspects of IMAP interaction.

Works perfect!
Thanks.
