Help With Reading Mail

[elabuwa]

hi guys,

 

I have a mail box that gets email from gmail (certain messages are set to auto forward to this email address).

The php code to read from the inbox is below.

 

$imap = imap_open("{mail.domain.com:143/notls}INBOX", "[email protected]", "password");
$message_count = imap_num_msg($imap);
$message_count = 1;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $message_count; ++$i) {
        $header = imap_header($imap, $i);
       $body = imap_body($imap, $i);
        $prettydate = date("d/m/Y H:i", $header->udate);
        if (isset($header->from[0]->personal)) {
            $personal = $header->from[0]->personal;
        } else {
            $personal = $header->from[0]->mailbox;
        }
        $email = "$personal <{$header->from[0]->mailbox}@{$header->from[0]->host}>";
        $debody = base64_decode($body);
    }

 

The problem is, when the email is read some certain characters are added (replaced I think). Especially "=A0". But in the original email it is not there.

I tried str_replace just to take them off, but no effect.

 

Original message is displayed like

Could it be some thing to do with html formatting special characters in some way?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like an encoding/character set problem. Try imap_utf8(), or utf8_decode().
