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

Regarding the blank emails, check the encoding of the mail.

If it is a binary encoded mail then you will get blank mails when you try to insert them into a mysql text field.

Try shifting every mail to UTF-8 and then insert it

iconv(mb_detect_encoding($mail_content, mb_detect_order(), true), "UTF-8", $mail_content);
