To understand script

[kurniawan]

Currently I am using one of B&T scripts, I like it very much because it is simple and most of all it works great
I am just curious to understand what is the meaning of
$headerArray[0] = $mailheader->subject;
$from = $mailheader->from;
from the script below, could anybody share knowledge? I am totally blank

PHP Code:

function getHeader($msgStream, $msgNumber) {
  $mailheader = imap_headerinfo($msgStream, $msgNumber);
  $headerArray = array();
  $headerArray[0] = $mailheader->subject;
  $from = $mailheader->from;
  foreach ($from as $id => $object) {
    $headerArray[1]  = $object->personal;  // from personal
    $headerArray[2]  = $object->mailbox . "@" . $object->host;  // from address
  }
  $headerArray[3] = $mailheader->Date;
  return $headerArray;
} 


Thanks before.

Mitchind,
I've tried to learn the link you give me, but dummy me I couldn't get what I want. I simply want the message content excluding the code like

--0-1538132792-1134666428=:3145
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp

I've spent hours, but still no result If I simply replace the lines that coming with the message content, when I try to send from another mail provider, as you can imagine, the lines are diferent. Can you help me?

Anybody familiar with knowledge about how php reads mail? I have been reading the documentation, but can't understand. I simply want the script to extract the mail and get body only without any other headers.

[mitchind]

Try:

string imap_body (int imap_stream, int msg_number [, int flags])


imap_body() returns the body of the message, numbered msg_number in the current mailbox. The optional flags are a bit mask with one or more of the following:


FT_UID - The msgno is a UID

FT_PEEK - Do not set the \Seen flag if not already set

FT_INTERNAL - The return string is in internal format, will not canonicalize to CRLF.


imap_body() will only return a verbatim copy of the message body. To extract single parts of a multipart MIME-encoded message you have to use imap_fetchstructure() to analyze its structure and imap_fetchbody() to extract a copy of a single body component.

Thank you, although I didn't understand the above instruction I finally found other way, I used

$body=imap_fetchbody($msgStream,$msgNumber,1);

But my other problem is, whole emails are being read by mail server and it converts all japanese characters into ASCII code. Anything I can do to get the original contents? How can I set my email server to receive characters like japanese?

Thank you for your time.

I did it! I use iconv function to convert the text into UTF and it shows the character I wanted.

Thank you for looking at this posting.
