imap_body

(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

imap_body -- Read the message body

Description

string imap_body ( int imap_stream, int msg_number [, int flags])

imap_body() returns the body of the message, numbered msg_number in the current mailbox. The optional flags are a bit mask with one or more of the following:

  • FT_UID - The msgno is a UID

  • FT_PEEK - Do not set the \Seen flag if not already set

  • FT_INTERNAL - The return string is in internal format, will not canonicalize to CRLF.

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.
