open mailbox and parse headers

hi,
i use the pop class to open my mailbox and to get the headers of the messages - then i interate over the messages and decode them with yout mimedecoder class. one question: when get the headers with the RetrieveMessage method. the $header is an array.
when i implode the array to a string (for the decode method, message input is data, not file) with '\n', i get errors like: multipart/mixed is not supportet yet... when i implode it with '\n\r' it decodes, but after the method analyze the result is only:

array(3) { ["Type"]=> string(4) "text" ["Description"]=> string(12) "Text message" ["DataFile"]=> string(5) "tmp/1" }


i know its a quastion between the two classes, but i hope you can help me.
thnx
alex

here is the code i wrote, maybe its easier to understand what i mean .-)


<?

require("pop3.php");
require_once('rfc822_addresses.php');
require_once('mime_parser.php');

$pop3=new pop3_class;
$pop3->hostname="mail.vvv.at"; /* POP 3 server host name */
$pop3->port=110; /* POP 3 server host port,
$pop3->tls=0; /* Establish secure connections using TLS */
$user="yyy"; /* Authentication user name */
$password="xxx"; /* Authentication password */
$pop3->realm=""; /* Authentication realm or domain */
$pop3->workstation=""; /* Workstation for NTLM authentication */
$apop=0; /* Use APOP authentication */
$pop3->authentication_mechanism="USER"; /* SASL authentication mechanism */
$pop3->debug=1; /* Output debug information */
$pop3->html_debug=1; /* Debug information is in HTML */
$pop3->join_continuation_header_lines=1; /* Concatenate headers split in multiple lines */

if(($error=$pop3->Open())==""){
echo "<PRE>Connected to the POP3 server &quot;".$pop3->hostname."&quot;.</PRE>\n";
if(($error=$pop3->Login($user,$password,$apop))==""){
echo "<li>$user logged in.";
$result=$pop3->ListMessages("",1);
if(is_array($result)){

foreach($result as $key=>$value){
echo("<hr><li><b>Number:$key Unique ID:$value</b><br>");
$pop3->RetrieveMessage($key,$header,$body,0);

//Parse Header
if(is_array($header)){
$implodedheader = implode("\n",$header);

$mime=new mime_parser_class;
$mime->mbox = 1;
$mime->decode_bodies = 0;
$mime->decode_headers = 1;
$mime->ignore_syntax_errors = 0;

$parameters=array(
//'File'=>$message_file,
'Data'=>$implodedheader,
/* Save the message body parts to a directory */
/*'SaveBody'=>'tmp', */
/* Do not retrieve or save message body parts */
'SkipBody'=>0,
);

if(!$mime->Decode($parameters, $decoded)){
echo 'MIME message decoding error: '.$mime->error.' at position '.$mime->error_position."\n";
}else{
echo 'MIME message decoding successful.'."\n";
//var_dump($decoded[0]);
if($mime->Analyze($decoded[0], $results)){
echo("<li>Decoded Subject:".$results[Subject]."<br>");
//var_dump($results);
}else{
echo 'MIME message analyse error: '.$mime->error."\n";
}
}
}
}
}
}
if($error=="" && ($error=$pop3->Close())=="") echo "<li>Disconnected from the POP3 server &quot;".$pop3->hostname."&quot;.</PRE>\n";
}

The decode function needs the whole message to work properly. multipart/mixed messages are usually messages with attachments and the attachments are in the body.

I suggest that you use the OpenMessage and GetMessage functions to retrieve the whole message with headers and body, or better, use the POP3 stream wrapper to pass a pop3:// URL to the MIME parser so it reads the whole message in small chunks at a time to parse the message properly.

thnx,
stupid me .-)

i will try it like you suggested.

is there any example for the OpenMessage and GetMessage functions to retrieve a message, i dont get it work...

got it now.
but there is still a problem.

with openmessage and getmessage i get the whole message. but when i read out my mailbox (ex. 12 messages) in a foreach (array from listmessages) every second message will not be loaded (but without any errormessage). the message is null...

ok, i got it .-)

but there is still a problem. when i read my mailbox, only every second mail is loaded with open/getmessage.
can you find an error??:

$result=$pop3->ListMessages("",0);
if(is_array($result)){
foreach($result as $number=>$size){
echo("<hr><li><b>Number:$number size:$size</b><br>");
$pop3->OpenMessage($number,-1);
$pop3->GetMessage($size,$msg,$eof);
flush();
if($msg) // PARSE ETC:
}
}

$pop3->GetMessage($size,$msg,$eof);

}

You need to call GetMessage repetedly while $eof is false.
