Question

I’ve did some research. I’ve found that you can serialize then unserialize to get a string… but I want a better solution.

I got an object array returned by IMAP pear module (function imap_getmailboxes).

public function GetMailBoxes(){
    $List = imap_getmailboxes($this->Link, '{'.$this->Server.':'.$this->Port.'}', '*');

    $Data = array();
    if(is_array($List)){
        foreach($List as $Key => $Value){
            $Value = unserialize(serialize($Value));
            $In = strpos($Value->name, '{');
            $Out = strpos($Value->name, '}');

            $Part = substr($Value, $Out);
            $Value->real_name = explode($Value->delimiter, imap_utf7_decode($Part));
            $Value->real_name = (isset($Value->real_name[1]) ? $Value->real_name[1] : null);

            $Data[$Key] = $Value;
        }
    }

    return $Data;
}

The problem here is strpos tell me this Warning: substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/david/domains/davidbelanger.net/public_html/panel/drivers/mail.php on line 178.

How Can I transform the object into a string ? Any idea, never done this before.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think instead of

$Part = substr($Value, $Out);

you want

$Part = substr($Value->name, $Out);
