(PHP ActiveX) Transition from Imap.Sort to Imap.QueryMbx

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated Sort method calls with QueryMbx.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Imap')
$imap = new COM("Chilkat.Imap");

// ...
// ...

$searchCriteria = 'FROM bob@example.com';
$bUid = 1;
$sortCriteria = 'DATE SUBJECT';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The Sort method is deprecated:

// msgSetObj is a Chilkat.MessageSet
$msgSetObj = $imap->Sort($sortCriteria,'utf-8',$searchCriteria,$bUid);
if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using QueryMbx.
// Your application creates a new, empty MessageSet object which is passed 
// in the last argument and filled upon success.

// The following properties are used instead of function arguments.
$imap->SortCriteria = 'DATE SUBJECT';
$imap->SearchCharset = 'utf-8';

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.MessageSet')
$mset = new COM("Chilkat.MessageSet");
$success = $imap->QueryMbx($searchCriteria,$bUid,$mset);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}
