PHP MIME Decoding

**avengertemplates** · Oct 12, 2006 11:34

Hello,
I am building a Mailing List Web Application based on PHP, MySQL. I have the script have the ability to receive emails and then send a mass email out to a group of subscribed users. My problem is when i have it send the message back out I am unsure of how to decode the MIME encoded messages from the incoming email. I have a script where it breaks up the message body from the email and sends it but i cannot get it to decode the MIME encoded message body. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Robert

decode ? what do you mean ?

The email provides a content-encoding in the MIME header, no such thing as a "mime encoding". This header you should be able to read, and then use the correct encoding when sending the mail out again.

Just use utf-8 for everything, solves all problems

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_003F_01C6EE15.B520FE00
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Check out PEAR's Mail_MimeDecode class. Im using on a project and it seems to work just fine.
