PHP: Gmail with RoundCube

Kristou Mehrez — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 06:02:16 +0000

Some times I have problem accessing Gmail because of some Firewall restrictions. Or I would like to have my own WebMail client for my mail service hosted with Google Apps. I tried several setting and I found out that it is not that difficult just you have to know the right parameters.

Here are the parameters that worked for me:
In your main.inc.php try to modify these setting:

// IMAP settings
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://imap.gmail.com:993';
$rcmail_config['default_port'] = 993;
$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = null;

$rcmail_config['username_domain'] = 'gmail.com';
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = 'gmail.com';

//SMTP settings
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';

//MBox settings
$rcmail_config['drafts_mbox'] = '[Gmail]/Drafts';
$rcmail_config['junk_mbox'] = '[Gmail]/Spam';
$rcmail_config['sent_mbox'] = '';
$rcmail_config['trash_mbox'] = '';
$rcmail_config['default_imap_folders'] = array('INBOX', 'Drafts', 'Sent', 'Junk', 'Trash');

PHP: Find string between 2 strings

Kristou Mehrez — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:28:53 +0000

While looking in the Internet for a good function to strip a string, I found this blog where this function is implemented.
[code brush="php"] function get_string_between($string, $start, $end){
$string = " ".$string;
$ini = strpos($string,$start);
if ($ini == 0) return "";
$ini += strlen($start);
$len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
return substr($string,$ini,$len);
}

$fullstring = "this is my [tag]dog[/tag]";
$parsed = get_string_between($fullstring, "[tag]", "[/tag]");
echo $parsed; // (result = dog)
[/code]
