accessing my gmail inbox via php code

Question

how i can access my gmail account through my php code? I need to get the subject and the from address to from my gmail account.And then i need to mark the accessed as read o

Answer 1

I would just use the PHP imap functions and do something like this:

subject;
    $from = $mail_headers->fromaddress;
    imap_setflag_full($mailbox, $mail[0], "\\Seen \\Flagged");
    imap_close($mailbox);
?>

This connects to imap.googlemail.com (googlemail's imap server), sets $subject to the subject of the first message and $from to the from address of the first message. Then, it marks this message as read. (It's untested, but it should work :S)
