I’m a fairly new php programmer and i’m trying to create a little page to read my emails.
i’m using imap_body to bring back the body of the message in single part messages, the text that comes back however, contains lots of (seemingly) random strings e.g. ‘=09’ , ‘=3D’ and ‘=20’. i’ve looked around for an explanation but i can’t seem to find one.
can anyone enlighten me?
Cheers,
Ed
this looks like an escape sequence. could it be that =20 is a blank?
try $body=url_decode(str_replace($body,’=’,’%’));
hopefully there is a better way. but this should work.
Unfortunately this method would render any = signs that were actually meant to be = signs as %, and could not be converted back as you wouldn’t know which % signs were meant to be % signs and which were converted = signs.
man i hope that makes sense to someone else…
have u tryed it?
= and % should be escaped to.
so there should be no = in there that is ment to be a real =
yes i did try it, unfortunately it didn’t work
hm
is it a hex code?
what was the result of my solusion.
if i know some mor about is i may write a function unescaping it, and post it here.
could u post an exaple of a email body, i can experiament with?
