imap_mime_header_decode

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

Decode MIME header elements

array imap_mime_header_decode ( string $text )

Decodes MIME message header extensions that are non ASCII text (see » RFC2047).

Parameters:

text

The MIME text

Returns:

The decoded elements are returned in an array of objects, where each object has two properties, charset and text.

If the element hasn't been encoded, and in other words is in plain US-ASCII, the charset property of that element is set to default.

Examples:

imap_mime_header_decode() example

<?php
$text = "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@example.com>";

$elements = imap_mime_header_decode($text);
for ($i=0; $i<count($elements); $i++) {
    echo "Charset: {$elements[$i]->charset}\n";
    echo "Text: {$elements[$i]->text}\n\n";
}
?>

The above example will output:

Charset: ISO-8859-1
Text: Keld Jørn Simonsen

Charset: default
Text:  <keld@example.com>
