It has been noted that imap_search breaks with imap4 syntax. To do an imap 4 search use curl and
send a custom command, then grab the results. Its best to do a UID search to get the unique IDs to
work with later. Here's an example with a working curl function.
<?php
$host = 'your-server.tld';
$user = 'username';
$pass = 'password';
$folder = 'INBOX';
function send_imap_command($server, $user, $pass, $command, $folder="INBOX")
{ //Send an imap command directly to the imap server
$result=["response"=>"", "error"=>""];
$url = "imaps://$server/". rawurlencode($folder);
$options=[CURLOPT_URL=>$url, CURLOPT_PORT=> 993, CURLOPT_USERNAME=> $user,
CURLOPT_PASSWORD=> $pass, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=> true, CURLOPT_HEADER=> true,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST=> $command];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
$result["response"] = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_errno($ch)) $response["error"]="Error (". curl_errno($ch) ."):
". curl_error($ch);
return $result;
}
//Pull out all the emails returned as undeliverable by the remote mail server in the inbox using
curl
$response=send_imap_command($host, $user, $pass,
'UID SEARCH SINCE "01-Jan-2022" (OR FROM "mailer-daemon" FROM
"postmaster") (OR SUBJECT "fail" (OR SUBJECT "undeliver" SUBJECT
"returned"))',
$folder);
if($response["error"]!="")
{
echo $response["error"]."\n";
} elseif (strlen($response["response"])>5){
//Server returns a string in the form * SEARCH uid1 uid2 uid3 ... Clean up and create array of
UIDs.
$response["response"]=str_replace("* SEARCH
","",$response["response"]);
$messages=explode(" ",$response["response"]);
}
print_r($messages);
?>
