PHP - Extracting Attachment From An Email And Saving It To A Location In My Server
Hello Guys,
I want to extract the attachment from an email. I searched and I found the following link below and many similar ones useful. http://garrettstjohn.com/entry/extracting-attachments-from-emails-with-php/ I am able to get the name of the attachments too.. but.. what after getting the file names? .. How do i actually access the file and move it to a location to my server?.. that part is unclear to me.. Please share me your views on this.. or point me in some direction as to how to accomplish this task. Thank you, Rakesh. Similar TutorialsI seem to be having a difficult time saving the attachments to a folder on the server, all the examples I see show it to the browser, what I need to do is copy the attachment to a separate folder and do some processing on it. So far everything I get, then ftp to my desktop appears corrupt. It works I just can't seem to unzip the zipped attachments, any ideas? My Code: (Not mine, I used examples from the web and put it into a function) function get_attachments($message_number){ global $connection; $structure = imap_fetchstructure($connection, $message_number); $attachments = array(); if(isset($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; } Calling Code: $a = get_attachments(6); $fp = fopen($a[1]['filename'], 'w'); fwrite($fp, $a); fclose($fp); Is it possible to do this? fpdf just opens a dialog box asking the user to save the pdf instead of saving it on the server. Also, is it possible to create a pdf from the data in a mysql table with PHP? Thanks! I created a php file to send an email with two image attachments. The email portion sends the email o.k., but I can't get the attachments to load. The first is my form. <?php if(!empty($_POST)) { // The HTML form handler. require "handler.php"; } ?> <script type = "text/javascript"> //Validate required function validateRequired(FIELD, ALERTTEXT) { with(FIELD) { if(value == null || value == '') { alert(ALERTTEXT); return false; } else { return true; }; }; }; function validateForm(FORM) { with(FORM) { if(validateRequired( fName, "You must provide your First Name!") == false) {fName.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( lName, "You must provide your Last Name!") == false) {lName.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( job, "You must provide your Occupation!") == false) {job.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( month, "You must provide your Birthday Month!") == false) {month.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( day, "You must provide your Birthday Day!") == false) {day.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( year, "You must provide your Birthday Year!") == false) {year.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( city, "You must provide your City!") == false) {email.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( state, "You must provide your State!") == false) {email.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( phone, "You must provide your Phone Number!") == false) {email.focus(); return false;}; if(validateRequired( email, "You must provide your Email!") == false) {email.focus(); return false;}; //if(validateRequired( full, "You must provide a Full Body Photo!") == false) {full.focus(); return false;}; //if(validateRequired( hdst, "You must provide a Head Shot Photo!") == false) {hdst.focus(); return false;}; }; }; </script> <div id="form"> <p>STEP ONE:</p> <form name="contest" method="post" action="paypal.php" onsubmit="return validateForm(this)" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="margin-left:10px;" > <div id="aName"> First Name<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="fName" id="fName" style="width:150px;" /> Last Name<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="lName" id="lName" style="width:150px;" /> Occupation<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="job" id="job" style="width:150px;" /> </div> <div id="location"> Birthday<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="month" maxlength="2" id="month" style="width:30px;" /> / <input type="text" name="day" id="day" maxlength="2" style="width:30px;" /> / <input type="text" name="year" id="year" maxlength="2" style="width:30px;" /> City<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="city" maxlength="20" id="city" style="width:200px;" /> State<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="state" maxlength="2" id="state" style="width:30px;" /> Phone<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="phone" maxlength="14" id="phone" style="width:200px;" /> </div> <div id="con contact"> Email<span style="color:#F00;">*</span> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" style="width:200px;" /> Website <input type="text" name="web" id="web" style="width:200px;" /> Facebook <input type="text" name="facebook" id="facebook" style="width:200px;" /> </div> <div id="biog"> Why Should you be crowned Diva of the Year?<span style="color:#F00; font-size:12px;"> *Limit 350 words</span> <br /> <textarea name="bio" id="bio" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea> </div> <!--<div id="fileUpload"> <p style="color:#F00; font-style:italic; font-size:12px;">A picture with your application is required.

Thanks guys Hi everyone! I'm trying to create a form with an upload photo bit in it. The photo i know, has to be saved on the server somewhere. Iv'e created an images folder both in my host's control pannel and in my dreamwever files and FTP'd it to the server. I've tried both ways of sending the test .jpg to each folder but i'm getting the desgined mySQL error. What's going worng here? Code: [Select] <?php //This is the directory where images will be saved $target = "/images/COMPANIES"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); //This gets all the other information from the form $company_name=$_POST['company_name']; $basicpackage_description=$_POST['basicpackage_description']; $location=$_POST['location']; $postcode=$_POST['postcode']; $upload=($_FILES['photo']['name']); // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("******host", "****username", "****password") or die(mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("****DB") or die(mysql_error()) ; //Writes the information to the database mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Companies` VALUES ('$company_name', '$basicpackage_description', '$location', '$postcode', '$upload')") ; //Writes the photo to the server if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) { //Tells you if its all ok echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; } else { //Gives and error if its not echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } ?> Thanks imap_fetchstructure is not returing information about attachments for certain e-mails after the mailbox is migrated to exchange 2010. Using IMAP protocol and was working fine until the migration from exchange 2007 to 2010. 99% of emails with attachments works fine, but few don't. I can replicate the issue when an attachment is sent from gmail accounts or some xerox devices to exchange 2010. The output of imap_fetchstructure (message has no body, only attachment) looks like below, as you can see, parts is returning null. I have tested it using imap-2006e and imap-4.7b libraries and produces same issues. Any ideas how to resolve the issue or debug this issue? Can also replicate the problem in Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 stdClass Object ( [type] => 1 [encoding] => 5 [ifsubtype] => 1 [subtype] => MIXED [ifdescription] => 0 [ifid] => 0 [ifdisposition] => 0 [ifdparameters] => 0 [ifparameters] => 1 [parameters] => Array ( => stdClass Object ( [attribute] => boundary [value] => AHNKAKBLDCDIDAGCDHGDAAAKACAK ) ) [parts] => Array ( ) ) I have an operational database I built with PHPRunner software that works flawlessly...for the most part. I want to add functionality for a button which, once pressed will generate a "Print" copy of the current record as it appears in PHP from the actual web page. I don't mind if the content is attached in PDF, HTML, or any other form as long as the "Print" output looks the same as if it were actually printed on paper. The goal is to provide a method for users to simply click a button to send an email copy of the electronic information for the customer's records. I already have a field within the form that contains the customer's email address, so I can have the script pull that email and automatically use that. I just need the script to automatically attach the PDF copy or HTML copy (not sure which would be easier). It seems to me that if there were a way to have the "Print" command generate the copy then attach that generated copy instead of sending it to the "Print" dialog for the web browser, that would be easiest to then somehow attach to the email to be sent. I have scoured the web trying to find an option for this and only now have appealed to the experts on this forum for a possible resolution.
HI guys, I'm quite new to php, and I'm really struggling to get this right. I just cant get it to work properly. Im trying to extract email from a list of URLS.

I need to know how do I retrieve the pdf file from the database and then add it as an attachment to be emailed. Regards Dieter I'm pretty new to PHP, and by new, I mean I have never done it or any other form of coding before starting my job a month or so ago. I've basically been manually trying to pick up PHP as I go. The website that I am working on had its core built, but I am trying to add functionality to it.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Does anyone know of a way to use PHP to create and email a HTML file? I was attempting to use the standard PHP mail function to pass a HTML string to the message variable, but mail clients have a pretty hard time rendering HTML/CSS correctly. My thought was, if I could take my HTML string and turn it into a file and attach it to a email message the user would be able to open the file in there default browser which would render without issues. Just for the record my HTML string also contains PHP variables, so it must be processes before being sent. So far my research suggests using the PEAR library for sending mail with attachments, but I am only finding literature on how to attach a file already existing on the server to an email message. I am having trouble finding a way to create a HTML file on the fly and attach it to an email message. Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a different way to accomplish what I am attempting to do here? I am building a website that allows a client to email me documents (DocX, PDF, TXT,ZIP, etc) along with a simple HTML based form. I used DreamWeaver to create the form and the upload area. I figured out how to script the PHP code to send the text fields to my email address (and validate them), but I can't figure out how to get the attachments to send. I am BRAND NEW to PHP and just trying to figure all thing out. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached two .txt files to this post. One is the HTML code for the forum and one is the actual PHP code I am using to send the form to my email. Thanks for your help! [attachment deleted by admin] Interested to find out why this code doesn't seem to properly send the attachment.. it's driving my insane ? Code: [Select] <?php //define the receiver of the email $to = 'youraddress@example.com'; //define the subject of the email $subject = 'Test email with attachment'; //create a boundary string. It must be unique //so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash $random_hash = md5(date('r', time())); //define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n $headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com"; //add boundary string and mime type specification $headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\""; //read the atachment file contents into a string, //encode it with MIME base64, //and split it into smaller chunks $attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip'))); //define the body of the message. ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering ?> --PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>" --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello World!!! This is simple text email message. --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <h2>Hello World!</h2> <p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p> --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- --PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment <?php echo $attachment; ?> --PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- <?php //copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer $message = ob_get_clean(); //send the email $mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); //if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed"; ?> I have spent nearly all day scouring Google for help on this and after trying numerous scripts unsuccessfully and reading up on imap functions but still getting nowhere as well as frying my brain l have had to accept defeat unless anyone of the many gifted coders here can help me out with a script they might have written and used. many thanks Callum I'm trying to after submission
1. create a csv
2. insert record into db
3. send email that's created in form submission - $msg.
4. send email with attachment to only the email I specify (if possible)
if not attach it to the email that's created at submission.
I've search and search and found different methods but doesn't work with my code.
I kept 3 lines at the top but can't get them to work ... either I don't get an email after submission or don't get an attachement.
Can some one help?
<?php
