imap_fetchstructure

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

imap_fetchstructure — Read the structure of a particular message

说明

object imap_fetchstructure ( resource $imap_stream , int $msg_number [, int $options = 0 ] )

Fetches all the structured information for a given message.

参数

imap_stream: 由 imap_open() 返回的 IMAP 流。
msg_number: The message number
options: This optional parameter only has a single option, FT_UID , which tells the function to treat the msg_number argument as a UID.

返回值

Returns an object includes the envelope, internal date, size, flags and body structure along with a similar object for each mime attachment. The structure of the returned objects is as follows:

Returned Objects for **imap_fetchstructure()**

Note that imap_fetchstructure does not return the object on failure. It returns false on failure.

e.g.
$structure = imap_fetchstructure($mailbox, $messagenumber);
var_dump($structure);

On success it will return the stdClass object as described in the manual.

On failure it will return:
bool(false)

Hope this will help people, for instance when you use a mailbox which is accessed and updated by multiple applications at the same time.

I improved the code from this post (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-fetchstructure.php#51497) a bit, now it handles multi embedded email correctly, and gives you a content with not marking character, like the '=' (soft line break).

<?php //return is structured as // $mail = array ( 'body' => ... // 'attachment' => array() ); function _get_body_attach($mbox, $mid) { $struct = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $mid); $parts = $struct->parts; $i = 0; if (!$parts) { $attachment = array(); $content = imap_body($mbox, $mid); } else { $endwhile = false; $stack = array(); $content = ""; $attachment = array(); while (!$endwhile) { if (!$parts[$i]) { if (count($stack) > 0) { $parts = $stack[count($stack)-1]["p"]; $i = $stack[count($stack)-1]["i"] + 1; array_pop($stack); } else { $endwhile = true; } } if (!$endwhile) { $partstring = ""; foreach ($stack as $s) { $partstring .= ($s["i"]+1) . "."; } $partstring .= ($i+1); if (strtoupper($parts[$i]->disposition) == "ATTACHMENT" || strtoupper($parts[$i]->disposition) == "INLINE") { $filedata = imap_fetchbody($mbox, $mid, $partstring); if ( $filedata != '' ) { // handles base64 encoding or plain text $decoded_data = base64_decode($filedata); if ( $decoded_data == false ) { $attachment[] = array("filename" => $parts[$i]->parameters[0]->value, "filedata" => $filedata); } else { $attachment[] = array("filename" => $parts[$i]->parameters[0]->value, "filedata" => $decoded_data); } } } elseif (strtoupper($parts[$i]->subtype) == "PLAIN" && strtoupper($parts[$i+1]->subtype) != "HTML") { $content .= imap_fetchbody($mbox, $mid, $partstring); } elseif ( strtoupper($parts[$i]->subtype) == "HTML" ) { $content .= imap_fetchbody($mbox, $mid, $partstring); } } if ($parts[$i]->parts) { if ( $parts[$i]->subtype != 'RELATED' ) { // a glitch: embedded email message have one additional stack in the structure with subtype 'RELATED', but this stack is not present when using imap_fetchbody() to fetch parts. $stack[] = array("p" => $parts, "i" => $i); } $parts = $parts[$i]->parts; $i = 0; } else { $i++; } } } $ret = array(); $ret['body'] = quoted_printable_decode($content); $ret['attachment'] = $attachment; return $ret; } ?>

Hello eveybody,

After reading plenty of posts (some good, some others not so good) I want to post a function to find out whether an email is coming with attachments

The function can be called passing the object returned by imap_fetchstructure() or any of its parts (recursively)

<?php $inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to mail: ' . imap_last_error()); $struct = imap_fetchstructure($inbox,$uid,FT_UID); $existAttachments = existAttachment($struct); function existAttachment($part){ if (isset($part->parts)){ foreach ($part->parts as $partOfPart){ existAttachment($partOfPart); } } else{ if (isset($part->disposition)){ if ($part->disposition == 'attachment'){ echo '' . $part->dparameters[0]->value . ''; // here you can create a link to the file whose name is $part->dparameters[0]->value to download it return true; } } } } ?>

Hopefully somebody can use it as well

I've made this two functions to decode mime headers and so far they are working just fine decoding all headers. Please let me know if you find any error. Hope they are useful for you too.

Here is code to parse and decode all types of messages, including attachments. I've been using something like this for awhile now, so it's pretty robust.

<?php function getmsg($mbox,$mid) { // input $mbox = IMAP stream, $mid = message id // output all the following: global $charset,$htmlmsg,$plainmsg,$attachments; $htmlmsg = $plainmsg = $charset = ''; $attachments = array(); // HEADER $h = imap_header($mbox,$mid); // add code here to get date, from, to, cc, subject... // BODY $s = imap_fetchstructure($mbox,$mid); if (!$s->parts) // simple getpart($mbox,$mid,$s,0); // pass 0 as part-number else { // multipart: cycle through each part foreach ($s->parts as $partno0=>$p) getpart($mbox,$mid,$p,$partno0+1); } } function getpart($mbox,$mid,$p,$partno) { // $partno = '1', '2', '2.1', '2.1.3', etc for multipart, 0 if simple global $htmlmsg,$plainmsg,$charset,$attachments; // DECODE DATA $data = ($partno)? imap_fetchbody($mbox,$mid,$partno): // multipart imap_body($mbox,$mid); // simple // Any part may be encoded, even plain text messages, so check everything. if ($p->encoding==4) $data = quoted_printable_decode($data); elseif ($p->encoding==3) $data = base64_decode($data); // PARAMETERS // get all parameters, like charset, filenames of attachments, etc. $params = array(); if ($p->parameters) foreach ($p->parameters as $x) $params[strtolower($x->attribute)] = $x->value; if ($p->dparameters) foreach ($p->dparameters as $x) $params[strtolower($x->attribute)] = $x->value; // ATTACHMENT // Any part with a filename is an attachment, // so an attached text file (type 0) is not mistaken as the message. if ($params['filename'] || $params['name']) { // filename may be given as 'Filename' or 'Name' or both $filename = ($params['filename'])? $params['filename'] : $params['name']; // filename may be encoded, so see imap_mime_header_decode() $attachments[$filename] = $data; // this is a problem if two files have same name } // TEXT if ($p->type==0 && $data) { // Messages may be split in different parts because of inline attachments, // so append parts together with blank row. if (strtolower($p->subtype)=='plain') $plainmsg. = trim($data) ."\n\n"; else $htmlmsg. = $data ."

Another comment to inform people about something that should really be in the function description:

imap_fetchstructure() downloads the entire email, attachments and all, rather than just the structure.
I guess it's an undocumented feature, not a bug.

I had assumed that the script would have only downloaded the amount of data that was returned, but my script downloaded a cumulative 2.5gig before i noticed. Hopefully no-one else will have this happen.

[#8] oersoep at gmail dot com [2006-01-29 23:58:57]

Please keep in mind that the "parameters" array is a stdClass object when there are no parameters, and NOT a zero-size array.
In PHP5 you'll get this error when iterating structure->parts[x]->parameters if there aren't any parameters for this part:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in file.php on line 100

[#13] masterbassist [2005-04-18 09:52:54]

I think the following line (when building attachment information)

>>> "filename" => $parts[$i]->parameters[0]->value

needs to be

>>> "filename" => $parts[$i]->dparameters[0]->value

The first version generated a PHP warning under PHP 5.0.3. The second version actually gets the filename.

I've created a function which simply extracts basic message content as a string ($content) and attachments as an array ($attachments). I've tested it with messages from Outlook, Outlook Express and Hotmail. Perhaps it's useful to anyone.

<?php $struct = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $mid); $parts = $struct->parts; $i = 0; if (!$parts) { $attachment = array(); $content = imap_body($mbox, $mid); } else { $endwhile = false; $stack = array(); $content = ""; $attachment = array(); while (!$endwhile) { if (!$parts[$i]) { if (count($stack) > 0) { $parts = $stack[count($stack)-1]["p"]; $i = $stack[count($stack)-1]["i"] + 1; array_pop($stack); } else { $endwhile = true; } } if (!$endwhile) { $partstring = ""; foreach ($stack as $s) { $partstring .= ($s["i"]+1) . "."; } $partstring .= ($i+1); if (strtoupper($parts[$i]->disposition) == "ATTACHMENT") { $attachment[] = array("filename" => $parts[$i]->parameters[0]->value, "filedata" => imap_fetchbody($mbox, $mid, $partstring)); } elseif (strtoupper($parts[$i]->subtype) == "PLAIN") { $content .= imap_fetchbody($mbox, $mid, $partstring); } } if ($parts[$i]->parts) { $stack[] = array("p" => $parts, "i" => $i); $parts = $parts[$i]->parts; $i = 0; } else { $i++; } } } echo "Analyzed message $mid, result: "; echo "Content: $content "; echo "Attachments:"; print_r ($attachment); ?>

About above comment and source code I wrote: certainly, plain/html text files are attachments, but I've written my code thinking about web IMAP clients, where text parts are not for downloading, simply they are shown. That's the reason.

Thanks anyway. :)

[#17] passeniermaxime at hotmail dot com [2004-06-15 08:15:56]

I have written a code that check's for attachments.
There is a slight problem with the above code;
when you send a mail with a .txt document as attachment
the type will be 0 and so there won't be a attachment found.

I check for the disposition of the body part witch can be inline or attachment.
If this is an attachment he will display it.
You an also mix up both codes by checking on the type and the disposition.

//////////////////////////////////
/// $mbox = connection
/// $a_mails_sort[$i] = message id

$structuur = imap_fetchstructure($mbox,$a_mails_sort[$i]);
$bericht_delen=$structuur->parts;
for($i_delen = 0; $i_delen<=count($bericht_delen);$i_delen++)
 {
 if($bericht_delen[$i_delen]->disposition == "attachment")
 {
 $attachment = "OK";
 }// end if
 }//end for

[#18] aperez at informatica dot 24ruedas dot com [2004-05-25 12:12:43]

This is my function to check attachments:

<?php $est=imap_fetchstructure($con,$msg); if(checkAttachments($est)) { echo("You have attachment(s)"); } else { echo("You don't have attachment(s)"); } function checkAttachments($estMsg) { if(($estMsg->type!=0) && ($estMsg->type!=1)) { // Text and multipart parts will not be shown as attachments return(true); } else { // If there's no attachments, parts inside will be checked if($estMsg->parts) { $partMsg=$estMsg->parts; $i=0; // Parts will be checked while no attachments found or not all of them checked while(!(checkAttachments($partMsg[$i])) && ($i<sizeof($estMsg->parts))) { $i++; } // If any 'checkAttachment' calls returned 'true', 'i' should be // equal to number of parts(after increased in while). So, no // attachments found if($i==sizeof($estMsg->parts)) { return(false); } else { return(true); } } else { // If no parts and text or multipart type, no attachments return(false); } } } imap_close($con); ?>

I hope this helps somebody else(if bugs, thanks for your fixes).

After many long hours of pouring over the object returned by imap_fetchstructure() I came up with the solution posted at the following url:

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9063

The url above provides an example of how to access variables in the object returned by imap_fetchstructure().  This class creates an object with member variables containing the correct part numbers which are compatible with the imap_fetchbody() function.

The structure returned looks something like this:

                       0 Raw Headers
$this->pid[$mid][0]  =  1 text/plain                        top level message
$this->pid[$mid][1]  =  2 message/rfc822                    entire unparsed message
                                                             multipart/mixed - part is skipped!
                           2.0 Raw Headers
$this->pid[$mid][2]  =      2.1 multipart/alternative       contains unparsed contents of next subpart (text/plain && text/html)
                                2.1.0 Raw Headers
$this->pid[$mid][3]  =          2.1.1 text/plain            2nd level inline embedded message
$this->pid[$mid][4]  =          2.1.2 text/html

$this->pid[$mid][5]  =      2.2 message/rfc822              entire unparsed message
                                                             multipart/mixed - part is skipped!
                                2.2.0 Raw Headers
$this->pid[$mid][6]  =          2.2.1 multipart/alternative
$this->pid[$mid][7]  =              2.2.1.1 text/plain      3rd level inline embedded message
$this->pid[$mid][8]  =              2.2.1.2 text/html
$this->pid[$mid][9]  = 2.2.2 image/jpeg
$this->pid[$mid][10] = 2.2.3 image/jpeg
$this->pid[$mid][11] = 2.2.4 image/jpeg
$this->pid[$mid][12] = 2.2.5 image/gif

Its important to note why multipart/related, multipart/mixed and certain multipart/alternative (if parent part is message/rfc822 && not multipart/mixed) parts are skipped, imap_fetchbody **does not** retreive a message part for these parts.  Which isn't a bug, as I have read in other places, these parts exist for the purpose of designing the viewer portion of a mail application.  Also, headers aren't assigned part numbers here because they are easy to pick out.

For people just beging this may help alot as I spent a couple hours just trying to relize how exact the array was stored. (at the time I did not know the print_r function :P)

$struct = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $msgnumber);
print_r($struct);

Will give you a better example for your messages but they are called as $struct using the varible method above.

$struct->type; //would return the type
$struct->encoding //would return the encoding

and etc..

This can be done many different ways but that is the basics on pulling the info out of the structure of fetchstructure itself, I hope it helps someone starting because it wouldve helped me :/.

[#21] es96 at hotmail dot com [2003-08-13 02:38:58]

If you are getting CHARSET as US-ASCII even if the header has a Content-Type: field, make sure the header also has a MIME-Version: field.

For example, the following header will correcty report charset as KOI8-R

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r"

Without the MIME-Version it will be reported as US-ASII

If your imap_fetchstructure not retrive all parts, write it:

$i = 1;

Most of the stuff works fine now.. but i'm still working on the chooser to select the best part to show. (plain or HTML).

The #1 problem is that most functions give the wrong ID numbers beck to fetch the body.

Here's a sollution to that problem.. :P

// Debug function.. always handy until it's 100% completed..
 $attachments = array(); $dispos=0;
 $debug=true;
 function doDebug($msg){
 global $debug, $debug_depth, $dispos;
 if($debug){
 for($y = 0; $y < $debug_depth; $y++) echo("    ");
 if($dispos == 0) echo($msg." "); else echo("".$msg." ");
 }
 }

 function Check_Part($part,$id){
 global $attachments, $debug, $debug_depth, $dispos; $ans=sizeof($attachments);
 doDebug("+Checking part $id");
 $debug_depth++;
 doDebug("Parttype=".$part->type ."/". mimetype($part->type) ."/". $part->subtype);

 if($part->ifdisposition){ $dispos++; doDebug("Disposition"); }
 if($part->ifdescription){ doDebug("Description=".$part->description.""); }

 switch($part->type){
 case 1: if((strtolower($part->subtype) == "mixed")
 or (strtolower($part->subtype) == "alternative")
 or (strtolower($part->subtype) == "related")) break;

 default: $an = sizeof($attachments);
 if($part->ifdparameters){
 $dpara = $part->dparameters;
 for ($v=0;$v<sizeof($dpara);$v++){
 if (eregi("filename", $dpara[$v]->attribute))
 $fname = $dpara[$v]->value;}
 }
 if($part->ifparameters){
 if(empty($fname)){
 $para = $part->parameters;
 for ($v=0;$v<sizeof($para);$v++){
 if (eregi("name", $para[$v]->attribute)) $fname = $para[$v]->value;
 }
 }
 }
 if(empty($fname))$fname = "Onbekend";

 $attachments[$an]->id = ($an+1);
 $attachments[$an]->part = $id;
 $attachments[$an]->filename = $fname;
 $attachments[$an]->type=$part->type;
 $attachments[$an]->subtype=$part->subtype;
 $attachments[$an]->dispos=$dispos;
 $attachments[$an]->size=$part->bytes;
 doDebug("Filename=".$attachments[$an]->filename); break;
 }

 for($x = 0; $x < count($part->parts); $x++){
 Check_Part($part->parts[$x], $id.".".($x+1));
 }
 doDebug("Dit deel had iets nuttigs.");
 if($part->ifdisposition) $dispos--;
 $debug_depth--;
 doDebug("-End of part $id");
 }

 function decode_mail($mbox, $msg){
 global $attachments, $debug, $debug_depth;
 doDebug("+Decoding message $msg"); $debug_depth++;
 $obj = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $msg, FT_UID); $moet_werken=true; $id=1;
 while($moet_werken){
 Check_Part($obj, $id);

 $moet_werken=false;
 }
 $debug_depth--; doDebug("-End of message $msg");
 }

Now to get this to work..
Decode_Mail([Mailbox connection], [Message Number]);

this is the outpu attachment array..
1--1.1.1--Onbekend--0--PLAIN--0--31
2--1.1.2--Onbekend--0--HTML--0--29
3--1.2--Beschrijving Nieuw E.doc--3--MSWORD--1--613718
--------------------------------------

PS.. "Onbekend" is dutch for "Unknown".

Good luck.

you can easily see through everything with these functions:

function printarray($array){
 while(list($key,$value) = each($array)){
 if(is_array($value)){
 echo $key."(array):<blockquote>";
 printarray($value);//recursief!!
 echo "</blockquote>";
 }elseif(is_object($value)){
 echo $key."(object):<blockquote>";
 printobject($value);
 echo "</blockquote>";
 }else{
 echo $key."==>".$value." ";
 }
 }
}

function printobject($obj){
 $array = get_object_vars($obj);
 printarray($array);
}

end then do this:

 $struct = imap_fetchstructure($box,$mailnr);
 //$struct is een object!!
 drukobjectaf($struct);

you get an extended tree-view into the hierarchie of objects and arrays
Comparing different mails(changing thenumber) may bring more clarity into this matter

(these functions may not work properly as they are translated from my dutch original, but they ought to be OK)

I think the above note about attachments is wrong. I tested sending files with and without attachments and I get the following 
with attachment: type=3 bytes=343648
no attachment: type=0 bytes=2
so checking for $struct->bytes == " " means nothing. At least in my test
running windows 2000, php4.2.1 using outlook and exchange. It seems that cheking the type will be more reliable

This function sets MIME charset
parameter value to US-ASCII when
either Content-Type header is missing
or Content-Type header doesn't have
charset parameter. This may be compliant
to RFC 822, but this poses
a problem for a calling function that
has to deal with untagged messages
in MIME charset other than US-ASCII.
To work around this, US-ASCII
has to be treated as the absence of MIME charset.

There's a little mistake in the code above!
The second echo must return "The message has no attachment!".
And that code must have some some additional thing to work properly! Maybe I must use ->parts to determine how many parts has a particular message!

[#29] trionon at mail dot ru [2002-02-22 08:42:24]

It's better to use special constants instead of digits for primary content-type:

        TYPETEXT                unformatted text
        TYPEMULTIPART           multiple part
        TYPEMESSAGE             encapsulated message
        TYPEAPPLICATION         application data
        TYPEAUDIO               audio
        TYPEIMAGE               static image (GIF, JPEG, etc.)
        TYPEVIDEO               video
        TYPEOTHER               unknown

These constants are documented in the source code of IMAP extension but they are still undocumented here :(

Point of clarification:

The seventh primary body type is not "Other" as documented, but actually "Model". This encompasses IGES, VRML, MESH, DWF, etc.

http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types

"Other" is the eigth primary body type.

Assuming $struct = imap_fetchstructure($x,$y);

It is important to note that if a message has NO attachements, $struct->parts is an empty array, and $struct->bytes has a value. If a message as ANY attachements, $struct->bytes ALWAYS = 0. To get the size of the primary body, you have to call structure->part[0]->bytes. To get the size of the whole message, either strlen(imap_body) or add up the ->bytes of all the parts.

Another interesting note:
When there is body text and no attachements:
count($struct->parts) = 0
When there is body text and 1 attachement:
count($struct->parts) = 2

These imap functions could really use better documentation. Like giving the meathods for the dparameter and parameter classes...

Parsing the recursive object returned from imap_fetchstructure is easy. However trying to figure out the name of the section to pass to imap_fetchbody() isn't quite so straight forward because the naming conventions for the MIME sections are odd. If you copy and paste the following function you can pass an UID of an IMAP message and it will print out a hierarchy of the message and label each section.

The only required parameters are $mbox and $em_uid. The other parameters are used when the function needs to call itself.

Two functions mime_encoding() and mime_type() are not included. All they do is return string for the integer represention of a mime type/encoding.

<?php function imap_dbody($mbox, $em_uid, $mimeobj, $depth = 0, $section = 0) { // If this is the first run of the function then grab a object of the MIME structure of the message if($section == 0) $mimeobj = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $em_uid, FT_UID); for($y = 0; $y < $depth; $y++) echo("???????"); echo(mime_type($mimeobj->type) . "/{$mimeobj->subtype}, "); echo(mime_encoding($mimeobj->encoding) . " ($section) "); for($x = 0; $x < count($mimeobj->parts); $x++) { // If we are in the root of the object increment by whole integers if($section == 0) $nsection = $x + 1; // If we are in the object and the first sub-object of our object isn't multipart // then increment the postfix by ".1" otherwise we are multipart or a message // and leave the section id alone to be handled by the next code block else if(($pos = strrpos($section, ".")) && $mimeobj->parts[0]->type != TYPEMULTIPART) $nsection = substr($section, 0, $pos) . "." . ($x + 1); else $nsection = $section; // If there are more parts to the part about to be processed reference it as a header with ".0" // but only if the child of this child isn't MULTIPART if(count($mimeobj->parts[$x]->parts)) { // Funny really, if a mime section is a inline message that has a multipart body you reference the message // mime section with "2" the inline message header with "2.0" and the subsections with "2.x" // However if the mime section is a inline message with only 1 part then you reference the // mime section in the message with 2.0 and the inline message body with 2.1 if(!($mimeobj->parts[$x]->type == TYPEMESSAGE && $mimeobj->parts[$x]->parts[0]->type == TYPEMULTIPART)) $nsection .= ".0"; else $nsection .= ""; } imap_dbody($mbox, $em_uid, $mimeobj->parts[$x], $depth + 1, $nsection); } // If after processing the entire MIME object the $x variable is still zero then we didn't // process a multipart mime message, it's just normal email so say so here. if($x == 0 && $section == 0) { echo(mime_type($mimeobj->type) . "/{$mimeobj->subtype}, "); echo(mime_encoding($mimeobj->encoding) . " (1) (NOT MIME MULTIPART) "); } } ?>

[#33] vksgeneric at hotmail dot com [2000-02-02 17:22:45]

It looks like some clients (e.g. outlook) can attach a file that has two mime-types associated with it, like:

Content-Type: model/vrml,x-world/x-vrml

This bombs the parsing procedure somewhere in c-client, I guess, and as a result ifparameters is set to false for the respective part, and you can not retrieve filename, mimetype, or any other parameters.

[#34] hholzgra at media-engineering dot de [1999-12-15 13:59:00]

the parts objects are identical in
structure to those returned by imap_fetchstructure, describing one subfolder each

parameters and dparameters are MIME-specific, theese contain the
extra parameters provided in the Content-Type and Content-Disposion Header lines such as Charset or Filename
