iconv_mime_decode_headers — Decodes multiple MIME header fields at once
Returns an associative array that holds a whole set of MIME header fields specified by encoded_headers on success, or FALSE if an error occurs during the decoding.
Each key of the return value represents an individual field name and the corresponding element represents a field value. If more than one field of the same name are present, iconv_mime_decode_headers() automatically incorporates them into a numerically indexed array in the order of occurrence.
The encoded headers, as a string.
mode determines the behaviour in the event iconv_mime_decode_headers() encounters a malformed MIME header field. You can specify any combination of the following bitmasks.
| Value | Constant | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT | If set, the given header is decoded in full conformance with the standards defined in » RFC2047. This option is disabled by default because there are a lot of broken mail user agents that don't follow the specification and don't produce correct MIME headers. |
| 2 | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR | If set, iconv_mime_decode_headers() attempts to ignore any grammatical errors and continue to process a given header. |
The optional charset parameter specifies the character set to represent the result by. If omitted, iconv.internal_encoding will be used.
Example#1 iconv_mime_decode_headers() example
<?php
$headers_string = <<<EOF
Subject: =?UTF-8?B?UHLDvGZ1bmcgUHLDvGZ1bmc=?=
To: example@example.com
Date: Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000
Message-Id: <example@example.com>
Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost
with SMTP id example for <example@example.com>;
Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC)
(envelope-from example-return-0000-example=example.com@example.com)
Received: (qmail 0 invoked by uid 65534); 1 Thu 2003 00:00:00 +0000
EOF;
$headers = iconv_mime_decode_headers($headers_string, 0, "ISO-8859-1");
print_r($headers);
?>
The above example will output:
