Hey,

I am currently using a php script to grab my new gmail emails and I've managed to get the date, who it is from, who it is to, and the subject (thanks to the internet).

I got that by grabbing the header info with imap:

$obj_thang = imap_headerinfo($m_mail, $what_ever);

Then just use something like:

$obj_thang->fromaddress

to get who it is from.

I can't find a way though to get the actual body of the email. I'm new to imap and the only reason I've got what I have is because I managed to find pieces of it on the internet.

So does anyone know how to get the body of the email? Also if anyone knows what to do to delete a message, that would be nice too

Thanks in advance for any help!

How about imap_body()

[animedude123]

Ok, that sorta worked. I can get the main message from that, but I'm also getting some other parts...

Some emails I get things like "Content-Type" and things like that.

Is there a way to get only the message part of the email?

I tried using imap_fetchbody($m_mail, $what_ever, 2) because I thought that might work, and 2 I thought might be the message (saw it on fetchstructure reference page)

That didn't work though...

EDIT: Ok, got it I think Mostly at least.

imap_fetchbody($m_mail, $what_ever, 2) I think is getting me the html format of an email (that is why it is sometimes showing up empty on some emails) EDIT: Nevermind, 2 just gives me this encoded stuff that doesn't make any sense to me xD At least when the message has an attachment in it lol

and then

imap_fetchbody($m_mail, $what_ever, 1) gets me the plain text version of the email. EDIT: This gives me the normal message. If it comes with images and html, this will display it.

Both leave off those header things for the body though

Still not sure how to delete messges though...Or mark them as read. If anyone knows how to do that, that would be the next thing I'm trying to do

The manual page I posted tells you how to handle that:

imap_body() will only return a verbatim copy of the message body. To extract single parts of a multipart MIME-encoded message you have to use imap_fetchstructure() to analyze its structure and imap_fetchbody() to extract a copy of a single body component.

The imap_fetchstructure manual page has some nice examples in the user comments, try to use them as a guideline!

Thanks, taking a quick look at the comments seems like I will be able to get an idea of how to make the functions I'm looking for

Never knew IMAP was so useful
