php imap - get body and make plain text

Question

I am using the PHP imap function to get emails from a POP3 mailbox and insert the data into a MySQL database.

Here is the PHP code:

$inbox = imap_ope         


        

Answer 1

$data = imap_fetchbody($this->imapStream, $Part->uid, $Part->path, FT_UID | FT_PEEK);
if ($Part->format === 'quoted-printable' && $data) {
    $data = quoted_printable_decode($data);
}

This is required for mails with

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

But for mails with

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

simply imap_fetchbody is enough.

Above code was taken from a cake-php component created for fetching mails from mail boxes throgh IMAP.
