[RESOLVED] how to parse email

[lovesirius12]

hi. do anyone know how to parse an email?

i have to following code in retrieving email:

$status = $pop3->get_office_status();

if ($status == false) {
    die($pop3->error);
}

$count = $status['count_mails'];

if ($count == '0') {
    echo 'There are no new e-mails';
}

for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
    $email = $pop3->get_mail($i);

if ($email == false) {
    echo $pop3->error;
    continue;
}

$email = parse_email ($email);

echo '<b>From: </b>' . htmlentities($email['headers']['From']) . '<br />';
echo '<b>Subject: </b>' . htmlentities($email['headers']['Subject']) . '<br /><br />';
echo nl2br(htmlentities($email['message']));
echo '<hr />';


}

$pop3->close();

but the result is like this:

From: me <[e-mail]>
Subject: from yahoo

Considering you have a bunch of other stuff happening in that code (of which is not explained to us) it's pretty hard to tell what's going on there.

what do you mean?

just assume that the variable $email contains the array of email. i have parsed the header (from, subject) and i got the message body, but the message body is like the one i posted above. i want to know how i could parse the message and just extract the plain text part of the mail.
