imap_ping -- Check if the IMAP stream is still active

Description

bool imap_ping ( resource imap_stream )

imap_stream

An IMAP stream returned by imap_open().

Return Values

Returns TRUE if the stream is still alive, FALSE otherwise.

Examples

Example 1. imap_ping() Example

<?php

$imap
= imap_open("{imap.example.org}", "mailadmin", "password");

// after some sleeping
if (!imap_ping($imap)) {
    
// do some stuff to reconnect
}

?>
