hi there
thanks for all your assistance,
have managed to use IMAP to check the inbox and find the attachments,
however i am finding difficulty in saving the attachments to a file folder
on the server,
any advice?
i am using this function to extract attachments from the emails:
function extract_attachments($connection, $message_number) {
$attachments = array();
$structure = imap_fetchstructure($connection, $message_number);
if(isset($structure->parts) && count($structure->parts)) {
for($i = 0; $i < count($structure->parts); $i++) {
$attachments[$i] = array(
'is_attachment' => false,
'filename' => '',
'name' => '',
'attachment' => ''
);
if($structure->parts[$i]->ifdparameters) {
foreach($structure->parts[$i]->dparameters as $object) {
if(strtolower($object->attribute) == 'filename') {
$attachments[$i]['is_attachment'] = true;
$attachments[$i]['filename'] = $object->value;
}
}
}
if($structure->parts[$i]->ifparameters) {
foreach($structure->parts[$i]->parameters as $object) {
if(strtolower($object->attribute) == 'name') {
$attachments[$i]['is_attachment'] = true;
$attachments[$i]['name'] = $object->value;
}
}
}
if($attachments[$i]['is_attachment']) {
$attachments[$i]['attachment'] = imap_fetchbody($connection,
$message_number, $i+1);
if($structure->parts[$i]->encoding == 3) { // 3 = BASE64
$attachments[$i]['attachment'] =
base64_decode($attachments[$i]['attachment']);
}
elseif($structure->parts[$i]->encoding == 4) { // 4 =
QUOTED-PRINTABLE
$attachments[$i]['attachment'] =
quoted_printable_decode($attachments[$i]['attachment']);
}
}
}
}
return $attachments;
}
