[RESOLVED] extract Sprint phone photo.

kansaschuck

I have php code running the extracts photos (attachments) from the emails from mobile phones. The code is working great and many of the fixes/features have been developed by the wonderful people at PHPBuilders. But now I'm trying to add support for Sprint mobile phone pictures.

When a Sprint phone sends a photo by email it just sends an email with a link to a web site which is host the photo.

So with in the html in the email is

http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/getMMBOXMessageMedia?id=Xw1004H8sLv6S3x76lVPYmsnJP2O20g3QtSDfap6T3pfSqgxmdVV4gmk5gW%2FZUWGmojEaNnHPwvc%0AKwcjgrBjD2m%2BOFMhXxzbXLCAoY2pTf8Bz7HPVhfw5AebITvfl1HKaE%2FneoP%2BjDmbsKmQbUe5kg%3D%3D%0A&lt;/url&gt;

... a link to the hosted picture. I need to extract the photo via PHP code.

and I could use some suggestion on which way to go. How to a get that photo from a PHP script?

thanks!

Does the link return just an image file, or does it return a web page that includes the image?

It looks like a web page inside the email (within the Earthlink mailbox software). Source to follow:

(more followed but was too much for this posting)

So add something like this:

// I assume the contents of the email is stored in $email
if(strpos($email, 'pictures.sprintpcs.com') !== FALSE) {
    preg_match('@&amp;lt;url&amp;gt;(.*?)&amp;lt;/url&amp;gt;@', $email, $matches);
    $url = $matches[1];
    $picture = file_get_contents($url);
}

I see that right now the link in the e-mail has expired, so you may want to check for that, too.

Thanks Brad. I see code I haven't seen before. This should be good.
