EMail Headers help

[Dan400007]

Hi all.

I'm in need of a little help. I'm creating a small PHP script that will display emails from user specified pop3 accounts. The problem I'm having is when display the body of the email there are all of the usual headers such as content-type etc.

Is there any PHP/Pear command/class that will remove these?

Thanks in advance.

Well, if I remember correctly (so if you try this, make some backups!!) the headers are normally separated by a "\n\n" type of double line break. So the formatted message should be:

From: [e-mail]
To: [e-mail]
Content-Type: text/html
Subject: Something Funny

Hey buddy... this email isn't that funny is it?

So, the body starts after the headers, and is separated by an empty line (99% of the time). So, just use a substr() to actually just extract the message:

// assuming $msg holds the current email
$msg = trim(substr($msg, strpos($msg, "\n\n")));

Then, just echo out $msg...

I'm 99% sure that will work... or something like that.
