If you still like to gather the information without using any tools:
$email = explode( "\n" , $mailText );
foreach ( $email AS $emailLine ) {
$emailLine = trim( $emailLine );
if ( strtoupper ( substr( $emailLine , 0 , 4 ) ) == 'FROM' ) {
preg_match( '#^from\s*:\s*([^>]+)(<([^>]+)>)?#si' ,$emailLine ,$parts );
break ;
}
}
$name = $parts[1] ;
$email = $parts[3] ;
But you should consider the following:
FROM: Red Wingate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
FROM: Red Wingate
FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
.....
Which makes working like this a pita.
