Hi Jerry Stuckle, the project specifies not to use database, otherwise
it would have been definitely much easier. I have to store all the
information in the file itself. Thanks for bringing into atention that
whatever, seperator with least probbability of occurence is chosen, it
can occur in subject line. May be we should use some escape character
for it. As it is used in mailbox file. Every new mail starts with "From
", but if it's in the message itself, it's replaced by ">From ". I will
also look into the CSV format for storing the data.
Hi Andy Jeffries, we are using PHP 5, so sprintf/fprintf can be used. I
haven't come across using pointers in PHP. I will definitely try to
learn it.
Hi ImOk, our initial datastructure was in the XML format itself,
(individual XML file for every user). As there can be thousands of
email, the file will grew larger and reading/writing may be slow/error
prone. So it was suggested to use text file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is how the datastructure is
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<mails>
<details id="">

Folders, Trash ... ) -->

But the other setting will still be in XML file.
We are using SimpleXML functions (get values, update values), DOM
(insert). Still the delete functionality is not working. We are
thinking of implementing preg_replace() for it.
Thanks.
