Extract details & image attachments from email

[classic]

Any pointers on the above please?

In what format are you getting the email?

[classic]

the message can be sent to any email address. It is a mms message forwarded by the service provider. It contains data in the header and body that identifies the sender and between 1&6 images as attachments. We need to process the sender details than either put the images into mysql blob fields or in a particular folder on the server.

You could use the Mailparse PECL package for this, or manually parse the MIME data.

This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension -- including the names of its functions and anything else documented about this extension -- may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this extension at your own risk.

With all the problems I have had with Delphi PHP I'll give this one a miss.....

How do I 'parse the MIME data' please? What is MIME data and where does it live?

Parsing the MIME format isn't too easy, so it would be easier to find a package that'll do it for you.

Try this one, it might do the job: Class: Parse Mail (sendmail, base64) - PHP Classes
