MIME email message parser

zbateson/mail-mime-parser

Testable and PSR-compliant mail mime parser alternative to PHP's imap* functions and Pear libraries for reading messages in Internet Message Format RFC 822 (and later revisions RFC 2822, RFC 5322)., _(*1)

, _(*2)

The goals of this project are to be:, _(*3)

• Well written
• Standards-compliant but forgiving
• Tested where possible

To include it for use in your project, install it via composer:, _(*4)

Php 5.4-7.0 Support Dropped

As of mail-mime-parser 2.3.0, support for php 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 has been dropped., _(*8)

Removal Notice (since 2.0.0)

getContentResourceHandle, getTextResourceHandle, and getHtmlResourceHandle have all been deprecated in 1.2.1 and removed in 2.0.0. fread() will only return a single byte of a multibyte char, and so will cause potentially unexpected results/warnings in some cases, and psr7 streams should be used instead. Note that getBinaryContentResourceHandle and getResourceHandle are still available., _(*9)

Change in 2.0

Upgrade to 2.0 to take advantage of the new on-demand parser which parses parts of a message as they're requested. This means reading only the headers from a larger message is as fast as a smaller message because the whole message is no longer parsed (similarly reading just the content and not a message's large attachments is also much faster.), _(*10)

Because of the on-demand parsing, starting in 2.0, the passed resource handle or stream must remain open while the returned message object is still in use., _(*11)

Old code:, _(*12)

$handle = fopen('file.mime', 'r');
$message = $mailParser->parse($handle);         // returned `Message`
fclose($handle);

New code:, _(*13)

// attaches the resource handle to the returned `IMessage` if the second parameter
// is true.  The resource handle is closed when the IMessage is destroyed.
$message = $mailParser->parse(fopen('file.mime', 'r'), true);

For a more complete list of changes, please visit the 2.0 Upgrade Guide., _(*14)

Requirements

MailMimeParser requires PHP 7.1 or newer. Tested on PHP 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2., _(*15)

Usage

use ZBateson\MailMimeParser\MailMimeParser;
use ZBateson\MailMimeParser\Message;
use ZBateson\MailMimeParser\Header\HeaderConsts;

// use an instance of MailMimeParser as a class dependency
$mailParser = new MailMimeParser();

// parse() accepts a string, resource or Psr7 StreamInterface
// pass `true` as the second argument to attach the passed $handle and close
// it when the returned IMessage is destroyed.
$handle = fopen('file.mime', 'r');
$message = $mailParser->parse($handle, false);         // returns `IMessage`

// OR: use this procedurally (Message::from also accepts a string,
// resource or Psr7 StreamInterface
// true or false as second parameter doesn't matter if passing a string.
$string = "Content-Type: text/plain\r\nSubject: Test\r\n\r\nMessage";
$message = Message::from($string, false);

echo $message->getHeaderValue(HeaderConsts::FROM);     // user@example.com
echo $message
    ->getHeader(HeaderConsts::FROM)                    // AddressHeader
    ->getPersonName();                                 // Person Name
echo $message->getHeaderValue(HeaderConsts::SUBJECT);  // The email's subject
echo $message
    ->getHeader(HeaderConsts::TO)                      // also AddressHeader
    ->getAddresses()[0]                                // AddressPart
    ->getPersonName();                                 // Person Name
echo $message
    ->getHeader(HeaderConsts::CC)                      // also AddressHeader
    ->getAddresses()[0]                                // AddressPart
    ->getEmail();                                      // user@example.com

echo $message->getTextContent();                       // or getHtmlContent()

echo $message->getHeader('X-Foo');                     // for custom or undocumented headers

$att = $message->getAttachmentPart(0);                 // first attachment
echo $att->getHeaderValue(HeaderConsts::CONTENT_TYPE); // e.g. "text/plain"
echo $att->getHeaderParameter(                         // value of "charset" part
    'content-type',
    'charset'
);
echo $att->getContent();                               // get the attached file's contents
$stream = $att->getContentStream();                    // the file is decoded automatically
$dest = \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\stream_for(
    fopen('my-file.ext')
);
\GuzzleHttp\Psr7\copy_to_stream(
    $stream, $dest
);
// OR: more simply if saving or copying to another stream
$att->saveContent('my-file.ext');               // writes to my-file.ext
$att->saveContent($stream);                     // copies to the stream

// close only when $message is no longer being used.
fclose($handle);
