# imap_search

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.12, PHP 4, PHP 5)

imap_search -- This function returns an array of messages matching the given search criteria

## Descrição

array imap_search ( resource imap_stream, string criteria [, int options [, string charset]] )

This function performs a search on the mailbox currently opened in the given imap stream.

For example, to match all unanswered messages sent by Mom, you'd use: "UNANSWERED FROM mom". Searches appear to be case insensitive. This list of criteria is from a reading of the UW c-client source code and may be incomplete or inaccurate (see also RFC2060, section 6.4.4).
