A fully tested email parser for PHP 8.0+ (mailparse extension wrapper).
It's the most effective PHP email parser around in terms of performance, foreign character encoding, attachment handling, and ease of use.

## How do I use it?
### Loading an email
You can load an email in 4 differents ways:
```php
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$path = 'path/to/email.eml';
$parser = new PhpMimeMailParser\Parser();
// 1. Either specify a file path (string)
$parser->setPath($path);
// 2. or specify the raw mime mail text (string)
$parser->setText(file_get_contents($path));
// 3. or specify a php file resource (stream)
$parser->setStream(fopen($path, "r"));
// 4. or specify a stream to work with a mail server (stream)
$parser->setStream(fopen("php://stdin", "r"));
```
### Get the metadata of the message
Get the sender and the receiver:
```php
$rawHeaderTo = $parser->getHeader('to');
// return "test" <test@example.com>, "test2" <test2@example.com>
$arrayHeaderTo = $parser->getAddresses('to');
// return [["display"=>"test", "address"=>"test@example.com", false]]
$rawHeaderFrom = $parser->getHeader('from');
// return "test" <test@example.com>
$arrayHeaderFrom = $parser->getAddresses('from');
// return [["display"=>"test", "address"=>"test@example.com", "is_group"=>false]]
```
Get the subject:
```php
$subject = $parser->getHeader('subject');
```
Get other headers:
```php
$stringHeaders = $parser->getHeadersRaw();
// return all headers as a string, no charset conversion
$arrayHeaders = $parser->getHeaders();
// return all headers as an array, with charset conversion
```
### Get the body of the message
```php
$text = $parser->getMessageBody('text');
// return the text version
$html = $parser->getMessageBody('html');
// return the html version
$htmlEmbedded = $parser->getMessageBody('htmlEmbedded');
// return the html version with the embedded contents like images
```
### Get attachments
Save all attachments in a directory
```php
$parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/');
// return all attachments saved in the directory (include inline attachments)
$parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false);
// return all attachments saved in the directory (exclude inline attachments)
// Save all attachments with the strategy ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_SUFFIX (default)
$parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false, Parser::ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_SUFFIX);
// return all attachments saved in the directory: logo.jpg, logo_1.jpg, ..., logo_100.jpg, YY34UFHBJ.jpg
// Save all attachments with the strategy ATTACHMENT_RANDOM_FILENAME
$parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false, Parser::ATTACHMENT_RANDOM_FILENAME);
// return all attachments saved in the directory: YY34UFHBJ.jpg and F98DBZ9FZF.jpg
// Save all attachments with the strategy ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_THROW
$parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false, Parser::ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_THROW);
// return an exception when there is attachments duplicate.
```
Get all attachments
```php
$attachments = $parser->getAttachments();
// return an array of all attachments (include inline attachments)
$attachments = $parser->getAttachments(false);
// return an array of all attachments (exclude inline attachments)
```
Loop through all attachments
```php
foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
echo 'Filename : '.$attachment->getFilename().'<br>';
// return logo.jpg
echo 'Filesize : '.filesize($attach_dir.$attachment->getFilename()).'<br>';
// return 1000
echo 'Filetype : '.$attachment->getContentType().'<br>';
// return image/jpeg
echo 'MIME part string : '.$attachment->getMimePartStr().'<br>';
// return the whole MIME part of the attachment
$stream = $attachment->getStream();
// get the stream of the attachment file
$attachment->save('/path/to/save/myattachment/', Parser::ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_SUFFIX);
// return the path and the filename saved (same strategy available than saveAttachments)
}
```
## Postfix configuration to manage email from a mail server
To forward mails from [Postfix](http://www.postfix.org/) to the PHP script above, add this line at the end of your `/etc/postfix/master.cf`
(to specify myhook to send all emails to the script `test.php`):
```
myhook unix - n n - - pipe
flags=F user=www-data argv=php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -f /var/www/test.php ${sender} ${size} ${recipient}
```
Edit this line (register myhook)
```
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=myhook:dummy
```
The PHP script must use the fourth method (see above) to work with this configuration.
And finally the easiest way is to use my SaaS https://mailcare.io
