parsing email troubles

KashKurcura

Hello:

I am trying to pipe emails to this script that i have been trying to write. Everything works fine except one thing. When I send emails to the script via outlook i dont get just the body content but i get this...

$Body =

------=_NextPart_000_0017_01C4ECCD.A7AA6770
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

test email
------=_NextPart_000_0017_01C4ECCD.A7AA6770
Content-Type: text/html;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; =
charset=3Diso-8859-1">
<META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.2523" name=3DGENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>test email</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>

------=_NextPart_000_0017_01C4ECCD.A7AA6770--

if i send emails from hotmail, yahoo, or thunderbird i get what i want.

$Body = testemail

Does anyone know how i can fix this so it just outputs the text and not all the other info that outlook sends?


$fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$email = "";
while (!feof($fd)) {
    $email .= fread($fd, 1024);
}
fclose($fd);

$lines = explode("\n", $email);

$From = "";
$Subject = "";
$Headers = "";
$Message = "";
$splittingheaders = true;

for ($i=0; $i<count($lines); $i++) {
    if ($splittingheaders) {
        $Headers .= $lines[$i]."\n";
        if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
            $Subject = $matches[1];
        }
    } else {
        // not a header, but message
        $Body .= $lines[$i]."\n";
    }

if (trim($lines[$i])=="") {
    // empty line, header section has ended
    $splittingheaders = false;
}
}

Your sending the header as part of the body of the email, you have to seperate them

$header    = "From: $senders_email\n";
$header   .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header   .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\n";
$header   .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

$body = "<html>\n";
$body .= "<body>\n";
// your content
$body .= "</body>\n";
$body .= "</html>\n";

mail($sendto,$subject,$body,$header);

Frederick:

Thanks for your reply, but the email is not being sent script side but via outlook express. What I am trying to do is build a email ticket system and it looks like that is what outlook sends as the body.

What you're showed in your post (for the body of the email) is the text and HTML version of the email, plus the MIME encoding that identifies those two sections. You could try rigging something up to ignore the MIME encoding and grab just the text or HTML portion of the email. Or might find some MIME libraries out on the 'net that might be smart enough to break out the text and HTML versions for you (then it would be up to you which version you wanted to use).

thanks, everything that i have seen on the net is about sending multipart MIME email but not reading it. i am not to sure how to ignore it either.
