note 31524 added to function.imap-fetch-overview

trionon's point also is not supported by my measurements, which indicate that a loop of single-message imap_fetch_overview calls performs equivalently to 1 call with a sequence, within 1-2% anyway. The implementation of imap_fetch_overview (at least in PHP 4.3.1) hits the UW C client library for each message individually in a loop so this isn't too surprising, the extra work of a bit of PHP interpretation is swamped by the IMAP server interaction which is the same whether you call imap_fetch_overview 100 times or once with "1:100". -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-fetch-overview.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31524 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31524 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31524
