php imap reading body message

Question

I am writing a simple php script for reading emails.

When I extract mail body with:

imap_body($mbox, $i);

I have returned something like this:

--0016e6db2b334d4d7904a883f4ec 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 

<The message arrived> 

--0016e6db2b334d4d7904a883f4ec 
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 

<The message arrived> 

--0016e6db2b334d4d7904a883f4ec-- 

How can I extract only: ? I am using php_imap.

Thanks.

If you are using IMAP, you can use the imap_body() function to read the body. PHP has ton of functions that will help you with parsing an email.

Check out the fetch_body() function too. It will allow you to get just part of the body.

For example:

$message = imap_fetchbody($inbox,$email_number, 1.2);
