mangy1983 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have spent nearly all day scouring Google for help on this and after trying numerous scripts unsuccessfully and reading up on imap functions but still getting nowhere as well as frying my brain l have had to accept defeat unless anyone of the many gifted coders here can help me out with a script they might have written and used. many thanks Callum Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247614-retrieve-and-echo-email-attachment-using-imap-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Go ahead an post the code you've managed to come up with and let's see where it might be improved to make it work.

mangy1983 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thank you for your reply Pikachu2000. Out of all the codes l have tried this was the best one as it reads the last email and echoes it out. as well as the unformatted (I think) body. As far as l can tell the attachments extension is .ZRXPSEND. <?php $mailbox = imap_open("{mail.******.co.uk:143/notls}INBOX", "creedlevel@*********.co.uk", "insertpasshere"); //connects to mailbox on your server if ($mailbox == false) { echo "<p>Error: Can't open mailbox!</p>"; echo imap_last_error(); } else { //Check number of messages $num = imap_num_msg($mailbox); //if there is a message in your inbox if( $num > 0 ) { //this just reads the most recent email. In order to go through all the emails, you'll have to loop through the number of messages $email = imap_fetchheader($mailbox, $num); //get email header $lines = explode("\n", $email); // data we are looking for $from = ""; $subject = ""; $to = ""; $splittingheaders = true; for ($i=0; $i < count($lines); $i++) { if ($splittingheaders) { // this is a header $headers .= $lines[$i]."\n"; // look out for special headers if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) { $subject = $matches[1]; } if (preg_match("/^From: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) { $from = $matches[1]; } if (preg_match("/^To: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) { $to = $matches[1]; } } } //We can just display the relevant information in our browser, like below or write some method, that will put that information in a database echo "FROM: ".$from."<br>"; echo "TO: ".$to."<br>"; echo "SUBJECT: ".$subject."<br>"; echo "BODY: ".imap_qprint(imap_body($mailbox, $num)); imap_expunge($mailbox); } else { echo "No more messages"; } imap_close($mailbox); } ?> Below is an example of the attachment l would be sent: ## Exported ZRXP Block for Halkirk.SG.ir.O ##TSNAMEHalkirk.SG.ir.O;*;

I think that l would only want one of them or if possible the average of all of them but since l can't even code the attachments retrieval l think this would be impossible for me without at least some help. My best way of learning is to look at working code, running it and then studying it to learn how it works but since l can't even find a suitable code l am finding it very difficult. many thanks Callum Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247614-retrieve-and-echo-email-attachment-using-imap-help/#findComment-1271570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangy1983 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 After further investigating and experimenting l have now got a code that echoes out the attachment but l am not sure how to proceed with it as l am not sure what l am doing. Out of all the information held l am only looking at keeping the 0.477 type of digits in the attachments so that l can find the average of them and display the output as well as saving it to database. Would anyone be able to help with this? thanks Callum Heres my code so far: <?php $mbox = imap_open("{mail.*******.co.uk:143/notls}INBOX", "creedlevel@*********.co.uk", "*********"); //connects to mailbox on your server $headers = imap_headers($mbox); if ($headers == false) { print_r(imap_errors()); } else { $j = imap_num_msg($mbox); //if there is a message in your inbox if( $j > 0 ) { //this just reads the most recent email.

mangy1983 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I believe this topic to be solved as the last code l posted pretty much does as stated in the topic title so l am going to tag it as solved. thanks all who helped. cheers Callum Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247614-retrieve-and-echo-email-attachment-using-imap-help/#findComment-1271760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
