Extracting Email Attachment (Text)


What's the best way to extract email attachments that's encoded in base64?  I can run the base64 encoded stuff through base64_decod(), but I want to know if there is a function to handle attachments.

Example:
------_=_NextPart_001_01C7C330.9D7B678C
Content-Type: text/plain;
 name=report.csv
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: report_=.csv
Content-Disposition: inline;
 filename=report.csv

Trouble Extracting Email Address From Text File
I'm trying to put together a script that will read an email box set up for newsletter bounces and remove the bad addresses.

There's an old script I've worked with that looks for --- Permanant fatal errro ---, but not all the bounced emails have that line included (3 out of about 700 do).

I need to find the bad address, then delete that address out of the database. I've got the deleting out of database down, but am not sure how to find any email address & delete it.

Multi-part Email With Text And Attachment
I'm having some problems adding additional function to one of my scripts. I was successful in creating a tool to send out emails with HTML file attachments to our new customers. This works great.

However, now I want to add in plain text to the body of the email as well. This is causing me a problem. I'm sure it's a problem with the header since I can create the text and the attachment works fine from my previous script. Here's what I have to create the headers: PHP Code:

I have to index the text of a pdf document.

Does any of you know of a PHP script/extension or a binary that is able

PHP classes i have found.

Extracting Text Between Tags Is Tricky!
Problem:
I want to get the whole text between the opening tag <%OPTIONAL%>
and the closing tag <%/OPTIONAL%>.
The right block is found by (and contains) the placeholder
{#xmreisepop_reisepreistext_1_3#}.

<%OPTIONAL%> and <%/OPTIONAL%> are not allowed to be inside these tags
again.

My first idea was:
<%OPTIONAL%>(.*?){#xmreisepop_reisepreistext_1_3#}(.*?)<%/OPTIONAL%>

But this does not work with the following peace of text, because it takes
the first <%OPTIONAL%> before and the first
<%/OPTIONAL%> after the placeholder.

<%OPTIONAL%>
....bla bla bla....
<%/OPTIONAL%>
....
<%OPTIONAL%>
....
{#xmreisepop_reisepreistext_1_3#}
....
<%/OPTIONAL%>


Then I tried it with this version:

<%OPTIONAL%>(.*)(?!(<%OPTIONAL%>|<%/OPTIONAL%>)){#xmreisepop_reisepreistext_1_3#}(.*?)<%/OPTIONAL%>

No success!

Email With Attachment
It is a basic email with an attachment. The email and attachment are getting sent and received ok. When the recipient tries to open the attachment, the right application opens (eg. Excel) but then throws up an error. I am using base64 encoding. For example:

.xls file with base64 encoding:
'testing.xls' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding.

.pdf file with base64 encoding:
There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
so the file isn't being decoded right. I have tested on Yahoo and Outlook. PHP Code:

File Attachment/email
The goal of this script is to allow only .rtf attachment delivered via e-mail.

Any idea on how to eliminate these two things from happening? Code:

Problem Sending Email Attachment
I have this script that attaches a file and sends it to an email address. It works fine.

Php Email Attachment, Chmod Settings
I have a php script from Obie (link at bottom) which uploads a file to
the web server, then attaches it to an email, and sends it to a default
recipient.

This program requires setting a directory for the files to reside in
temporarily. What settings should I put this folder to to be most
secure, 755? 750? other? If the user is uploading, is that the
"world" permissions, or is that the "group" or "owner" permissions?
I'm not entirely sure how the upload in this script works, but it uses
the "open()" "fopen()" and "fread()" functions in there.

Multi Attachment Email Script
I have 2 forms, one for a message/contact details from the user and also a mini form that allows the user to upload files to my server.

My code for the uploading process is fine and dandy. It uploads the file to the server and then stores the file name into an array called "$_SESSION['filearray']".

When it gets time for the user to submit the entire form everything should be picked up from the session filearray and emailed off to the designated email address. This works fine and I have no problem with getting the message details or recieving the email But the multi attachments seem to be a problem, rather than attaching everything in the filearray it seems to only take the last file in the array. Code:

Sending Form Information And An Attachment To My Email

Word Doc Email Attachment -> Website Update
I have a gmail account setup so that it receives a daily email that has a daily bulletin (word doc format) attached.

I also have a php based site thats  homepage has a space for this daily bulletin. I setup a password protected php script on another page that allows me to paste text (I open and copy the text from the word doc attachment) into a textfield and then update a text file with that copied text. A script in the homepage pulls the text from that text file and loads it into the bulletin space on the page when it loads.

My question is, how can I automate this entire process in php? Would it be something like: PHP connects to gmail's pop server, finds and retrieves the email attachment, opens it, copies the text from it, and then edits the text file?

Email Attachment Limit (Filesize Or Number)
I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to whether or not there is a limit on the filesize or amount of attachments you can have on an email sent with php. I've created an application that stores files, and has the option to send emails with the files attached.

It seems that when attaching 3 or more files it fails. It just goes to a white page. At first I hard coded the attachments with headers, and experienced the problem. I found XPertMailer v.2 and implemented that, hoping it would fix the problem, but it is still happening. Any idea for a work around, or how to find out?

Plain Text Email
I'm wanting to protect all inputs for sending a plain text email, in a common
routine.

Have just found POSIX [:print:] which I thought looked useful.
I didn't want to use htmlentities(); because it's a plain text email.

Would this protect me from anyone sending spam though this?

$raw = stripslashes($raw);
$raw = preg_replace("/(content-type|bcc:|cc:|onload|onclick)/i", "DELETED",
$raw);
$raw = strip_tags($raw);
$raw = preg_replace("/[^[:print:]]/", " ", $raw);
$raw = substr($raw, 0, 500);
$raw = trim($raw);

Or, should I use:
$raw = htmlentities($raw, ENT_NOQUOTES);

The email address would obviously be different.
This would cover just the name, subject and message.
I don't need newlines etc.

Email Box - Text Editor

How To Read HTML Email Text?
I've done a couple of hours web-searching without turning up many
answers so far, and I guess I could figure it out (eventually) from
the MIME format, but here goes with my question...

I don't have any problems reading text emails, but can anybody direct
me to some PHP source code that will read (the text inside) an HTML
email, specifically the "From", "Subject" and especially the message
body?

I would like the code to be able to differentiate between (i.e. know
that it is) a text or an HTML email, and I would like the code to
ignore any attachments.

I don't expect the incoming email to have any (or large) attachments,
but I hope that any code samples can handle the possible case of big
attachments coming along for the ride.

Incidentally, if I did (not this time) want to handle large
attachments, can PHP and/or servers handle megabytes of data being
read into a string variable through fread()? I'm just getting into
this stuff, and not sure of what areas would be a resource and/or
performance hog.

Conditional Email Text To Hyperlink
I am trying to write a content management section for a web site.

I have managed so far to use htmlarea to give users a basic, but user
friendly interface by which to edit the page content.

The user can add emails by symply typing john@example.com - IE automatically
converts this to a hyperlink. The trouble is sometimes the users use plain
text. I have been using the following line to convert plain text to a
hyperlink:

$pagetext=ereg_replace('[A-Za-z0-9_]([-._]?[A-Za-z0-9])*@[A-Za-z0-9]([-.]?[A-Za-z0-9])*.[A-Za-z]+',
'<a href="mailto:?subject=Email%20from%20web%20site"></a> ',
$pagetext);

This works well - BUT it completely screws up any existing hyperlinks. Is
there a way to convert the plain text email address in to a hyperlink only
if it is NOT part of a hyperlink.

Basically I need some way of checking
* If it's plain text > convert to a hyperlink
* If it's already an email hyperlink leave it alone.

I have tried looking up and testing everything I can think of - but am
finally asking around before I go mad.

Displaying Text/html In Web POP Email
is it possible that message from web POP mail ( through sockets) appears as html (or text) if it is sent as html, not to appear like source file of the html document? I use web POP mail which is not mine and it displays without problem emails sent as text/plain but shows complete source with all tags if the email is sent as text/html, in other words, it´s useless and very hard to read for user.
