Can you be more specific? Do you need to connect to a mailbox and read the contents of the mailbox?

Hello richard,

thanks for your quick response.

The following is what exactly i am looking for:

We have a support system that creates support tickets in database based on the e-mails sent by customers. This is all fine when the e-mail is in text format. But if the same is in rtf/html it's becoming tough to parse thru the content [mail body]. Are there any ways of handling this efficiently. Please help me out in this regard.

Mogli

Have you considered using strip_tags on the HTML message to convert it to plain text, and then running your algorithms?

hii,
pls help i'm new in php,
how to get subject n sender address from an e-mail?
coz i want to have send back a request from user whom send a request e-mail (request is type in subject).
thanx.....

Well that all depends on how you are connecting to the mailbox. The easiest and most efficient way to do it is via the c-client extension..
http://www.php.net/imap

If you're using the c-client extension you can use the imap_headerinfo function to read the specifc headers of a message.
http://www.php.net/imap_headerinfo

Otherwise you're likely to be using PHP itself (as opposed to the c-client extension which is written in C) to parse the structure of a message. In which case, parsing a MIME message is a complicated undertaking not easily describable in a few forum posts. I beleive the PEAR Mail_MIME package has functionality for parsing MIME messages and headers.

Of course you are also welcome to have a look at my Mail_IMAP PEAR package, which is a solution that uses the c-client extension to access mailboxes and does all the header and message parsing for you.
