imap_body — Read the message body
$imap_stream
, int $msg_number
[, int $options = 0
] )
imap_body() returns the body of the message,
numbered msg_number in the current
mailbox.
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.
imap_streamAn IMAP stream returned by imap_open().
msg_numberThe message number
options
The optional options are a bit mask
with one or more of the following:
FT_UID - The msg_number 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.
Returns the body of the specified message, as a string.
Simple example on how to read body message of the recent mail.
<?php
$imap = imap_open("{pop.example.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}", "username", "password");
if( $imap ) {
//Check no.of.msgs
$num = imap_num_msg($imap);
//if there is a message in your inbox
if( $num >0 ) {
//read that mail recently arrived
echo imap_qprint(imap_body($imap, $num));
}
//close the stream
imap_close($imap);
}
?>
Documentation lacks the information that you can use | -character to combine multiple options
