Description:
------------
None of the existing IMAP functions built into PHP support fetching custom IMAP flags. Existing functions imap_setflag_full and imap_clearflag_full allow one to set custom flags, but there is no method available to fetch them back.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
    // clear custom flag
    imap_setflag_full($mbox, $msg_id, '$Label2');

    // set custom flag
    imap_setflag_full($mbox, $msg_id, '$Label1');

    // fetch the flag - we need this!
    if (imap_fetchflag_full($mbox, $msg_id, '$Label1'))
        echo "Flag \$Label1 is set\n";
    else
        echo "Flag \$Label1 is not set\n";

    // also, maybe include custom flags in functions
    // such as imap_headerinfo() to fetch all set flags
    // (not sure if this is possible with IMAP protocol)

Expected result:
----------------
Flag $Label1 is set


Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_fetchflag_full() in Command line code on line 1

It is possible to use the Zend framework as a workaround. To check for flags, Zend\Mail\Storage\Message has a method called hasFlag(). With getFlags() you'll get all flags.

Same Problem here with a custom plugin to the widely used RoundCube Webmail Client.

The plugin report_junk does set a custom flag 'JUNK' to mark which emails habe been reported as junk.
But lacking and function to query for a custom email flag, it cannot detect if an email is already labeled junk and allows the user to report the same spam mail multiple times. Now what you want when your 'backend' scripts do generate an ARF report to the ISP of the sender.

Please do implement a php imap function to get all flags or query for the presence of a flag.

like

* imap_get_flags($mbox, $msg_id)
* imap_has_flag($mbox,$msg_id, 'JUNK')

Just look at perl:

my $imap = Net::IMAP::Simple->new('imap.example.com', SSL_version => 'SSLv3 SSLv2 TLSv1', use_ssl => 0) ||
       die "Unable to connect to IMAP: $Net::IMAP::Simple::errstr\n";

    if(!$imap->login('user@example.com','passw0rd')){
        print STDERR "Login failed: " . $imap->errstr . "\n";
        exit(64);
    }

    print "Available server flags: " . join(", ", $imap->flags) . "\n";

my @ids = $imap->search("SUBJECT \"V14gr4\" ");

    my $count = scalar @ids;
    print "Emails found: $count\n";

        foreach (@ids) {
                my $flags = $imap->msg_flags($_);
                print "Flags on message $_: $flags\n";
        }

-----------

This results in an output like this showing all the flags, including the ones set with RoudCube using PHP:

Emails found: 1
Flags on message 30: \Seen JUNK
