MIME email with CID imgs, I need to convert the CID Attribute to URLs, any help?

Ahmed Nasr · June 5, 2010

Hello, I'm just new here, I was searching for any good documentation for imap functions, but I couldn't find any. any how, I need a help for this case:

I have a website where members can publish contents via email, they are sending a message with html body and embeded imgs in, but in case these imgs are having cid numbers, instead of urls, they can't be visible.

I tried a simple prototype to resolve this, by using some functions of www.squirrelmail.org, but I couldn't make them work.

do you have a way to solve?

now this is the code I have:

<?
   $ServerName = "{www.redcherry.com.sa:143/notls}"; // For a IMAP connection    (PORT 143)   
   $UserName = "user";
   $PassWord = "pass";
   
   $mbox = imap_open($ServerName, $UserName,$PassWord) or die("Could not open Mailbox - try again later!"); 
   if ($hdr = imap_check($mbox)) {
   echo "Num Messages " . $hdr->Nmsgs ."\n\n<br><br>";
   	$msgCount = $hdr->Nmsgs;
   } else {
   	echo "failed";
   }
   if (!$_GET['n']){
   $MN=$msgCount;
   $overview=imap_fetch_overview($mbox,"1:$MN",0);
   $size=sizeof($overview);
   
   echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"582\">";
   
   for($i=$size-1;$i>=0;$i--){
   	$val=$overview[$i];
	$msg=$val->msgno;
   	$from=$val->from;
  		$date=$val->date;
	$subj=$val->subject;
   	$seen=$val->seen;
   
   $from = ereg_replace("\"","",$from);
   
   // MAKE DANISH DATE DISPLAY
   	list($dayName,$day,$month,$year,$time) = split(" ",$date); 
	$time = substr($time,0,5);
   	$date = $day ." ". $month ." ". $year . " ". $time;
   
   	if ($bgColor == "#F0F0F0") {
   		$bgColor = "#FFFFFF";
   	} else {
		$bgColor = "#F0F0F0";
	}
   
	if (strlen($subj) > 60) {
   		$subj = substr($subj,0,59) ."...";
	}
   
   	echo "<tr bgcolor=\"$bgColor\"><td colspan=\"2\">$from</td><td colspan=\"2\"><a href=\"?n=$msg\">$subj</a></td>
   		 <td class=\"tblContent\" colspan=\"2\">$date</td></tr>\n";
   }
echo "</table><p>";
