Working with MIME Email Message Parser Decode output.

I've collected my message and written it to a file. It serves as
input to decode. A print_r on the decoded return gives:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Headers] => Array
(
[received:] => from SN6PR13MB2496.namprd13.prod.outlook.com (2603:10b6:4:1::23) by
)

[Parts] => Array
(
)

[Position] => 0
[DecodedHeaders] => Array
(
[received:] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Value] => from SN6PR13MB2496.namprd13.prod.outlook.com (2
[Encoding] => UTF-8
) ) ) ) ) )

In [received:] there's a substring '...Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printableThis really is the body.=C2=A0 An at'

How do I collect the body text of the message? Do I have to work the strings within the array? I would have thought 'Content-Type' would have been another key.

Thank you.

In the parameters that you pass to the Decode function, do not pass the value 'SkipBody' .

Tried this:


$parameters = array('File'=>'testfile.out');
$decoded = array();
unset($parameters['SkipBody']);
if(!$mime->Decode($parameters, $decoded))


No joy.

If this is correct, then the mail file must be damaged; even though your test script shows a proper listing. I hack some more. I may be back.

Thank you.

If you can post the script you are using and the MIME message data file you are trying to parse, I can try and check what is wrong.

It must be something I'm writing. The body text is still buried in a string

if(($error=$pop3->RetrieveMessage(1,$headers,$body,-1))=="") {

for($line=0;$line<count($headers);$line++) {
$str = $headers[$line];
fwrite($fh, $str);
}

for($line=0;$line<count($body);$line++) {
$str = $body[$line];
fwrite($fh, $str);

I'll try a different parser. That will tell me. Thanks for your help.

clipped this from php ... just to be sure

function fwrite_stream($fp, $string) {
for ($written = 0; $written < strlen($string); $written += $fwrite) {
$fwrite = fwrite($fp, substr($string, $written));
if ($fwrite === false) {
return $written;
}
}
return $written;
}

Message format doesn't play. Yahoo mail acts quite different, although I'm still not getting what I'd expect. This is knowledge issue on my part.

Issue closed.

Thank you for your help

It seems the problem is that you are not adding the line break characters when you are joining the header and body lines.

Try changing this:

$str = $headers[$line];

to this:

$str = $headers[$line]."\r\n";

And this:

$str = $body[$line];

to this:

$str = $body[$line]."\r\n";

But there is an even better way to pull messages from the POP3 server and pass them to the MIME parser class.

You can use the POP3 stream handler provided by the POP3 package and use like a file name of a regular file, so the POP3 class internally retrieve the message data as if it were a real file.

Read this tutorial article for more information:

Much better.

Tried a few permutations with the stream. No luck so far.
Thank you.

So, does it work OK now?
