Roundcube Framework

INTRODUCTION

The Roundcube Framework is the basic library used for the Roundcube Webmail application. It is an extract of classes providing the core functionality for an email system. They can be used individually or as package for the following tasks:

• IMAP mailbox access with optional caching
• MIME message handling
• Email message creation and sending through SMTP
• General caching utilities using the local database
• Database abstraction using PDO
• VCard parsing and writing

REQUIREMENTS

PHP Version 5.5 or greater including:

• PCRE, DOM, JSON, Session, Sockets, OpenSSL, Mbstring, Filter, Ctype, Intl (required)
• PHP PDO with driver for either MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle or SQLite (required)
• Iconv, Zip, Fileinfo, Exif (recommended)
• LDAP for LDAP addressbook support (optional)

INSTALLATION

Copy all files of this directory to your project or install it in the default include_path directory of your webserver. Some classes of the framework require external libraries. See composer.json-dist for the list of required packages.

USAGE

The Roundcube Framework provides a bootstrapping file which registers an autoloader and sets up the environment necessary for the Roundcube classes. In order to make use of the framework, simply include the bootstrap.php file from this directory in your application and start using the classes by simply instantiating them.

If you wanna use more complex functionality like IMAP access with database caching or plugins, the rcube singleton helps you loading the necessary files:

<?php

define('RCUBE_CONFIG_DIR',  '<path-to-config-directory>');
define('RCUBE_PLUGINS_DIR', '<path-to-roundcube-plugins-directory');

require_once '<path-to-roundcube-framework/bootstrap.php';

$rcube = rcube::get_instance(rcube::INIT_WITH_DB | rcube::INIT_WITH_PLUGINS);
$imap = $rcube->get_storage();

// do cool stuff here...

?>
