README
A fully tested email parser for PHP 8.0+ (mailparse extension wrapper).
It's the most effective PHP email parser around in terms of performance, foreign character encoding, attachment handling, and ease of use. Internet Message Format RFC 822, 2822, 5322.
Why?
This extension can be used to...
- Parse and read email from Postfix
- Read messages (Filename extension:
.eml
) - Create webmail
- Store email information such a subject, HTML body, attachments, etc. into a database
Is it reliable?
Yes. All known issues have been reproduced, fixed and tested.
We use GitHub Actions, Codecov, Codacy to help ensure code quality. You can see real-time statistics below:
How do I install it?
The easiest way is via Composer.

cd pecl-mail-mailparse
phpize
./configure
sed -i 's/#if\s!HAVE_MBSTRING/#ifndef MBFL_MBFILTER_H/' ./mailparse.c

to php.ini
accordingly.
How do I use it?
Loading an email
You can load an email in 4 differents ways:
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php'; $path = 'path/to/email.eml'; $parser = new PhpMimeMailParser\Parser(); // 1. Either specify a file path (string) $parser->setPath($path); // 2. or specify the raw mime mail text (string) $parser->setText(file_get_contents($path)); // 3. or specify a php file resource (stream) $parser->setStream(fopen($path, "r")); // 4. or specify a stream to work with a mail server (stream) $parser->setStream(fopen("php://stdin", "r"));
Get the metadata of the message
Get the sender and the receiver:
$rawHeaderTo = $parser->getHeader('to'); // return "test" <test@example.com>, "test2" <test2@example.com> $arrayHeaderTo = $parser->getAddresses('to'); // return [["display"=>"test", "address"=>"test@example.com", false]] $rawHeaderFrom = $parser->getHeader('from'); // return "test" <test@example.com> $arrayHeaderFrom = $parser->getAddresses('from'); // return [["display"=>"test", "address"=>"test@example.com", "is_group"=>false]]
Get the subject:
$subject = $parser->getHeader('subject');
Get other headers:
$stringHeaders = $parser->getHeadersRaw(); // return all headers as a string, no charset conversion $arrayHeaders = $parser->getHeaders(); // return all headers as an array, with charset conversion
Get the body of the message
$text = $parser->getMessageBody('text'); // return the text version $html = $parser->getMessageBody('html'); // return the html version $htmlEmbedded = $parser->getMessageBody('htmlEmbedded'); // return the html version with the embedded contents like images
Get attachments
Save all attachments in a directory
$parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/'); // return all attachments saved in the directory (include inline attachments) $parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false); // return all attachments saved in the directory (exclude inline attachments) // Save all attachments with the strategy ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_SUFFIX (default) $parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false, Parser::ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_SUFFIX); // return all attachments saved in the directory: logo.jpg, logo_1.jpg, ..., logo_100.jpg, YY34UFHBJ.jpg // Save all attachments with the strategy ATTACHMENT_RANDOM_FILENAME $parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false, Parser::ATTACHMENT_RANDOM_FILENAME); // return all attachments saved in the directory: YY34UFHBJ.jpg and F98DBZ9FZF.jpg // Save all attachments with the strategy ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_THROW $parser->saveAttachments('/path/to/save/attachments/', false, Parser::ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_THROW); // return an exception when there is attachments duplicate.
Get all attachments
$attachments = $parser->getAttachments(); // return an array of all attachments (include inline attachments) $attachments = $parser->getAttachments(false); // return an array of all attachments (exclude inline attachments)
Loop through all attachments
foreach ($attachments as $attachment) { echo 'Filename : '.$attachment->getFilename().'<br>'; // return logo.jpg echo 'Filesize : '.filesize($attach_dir.$attachment->getFilename()).'<br>'; // return 1000 echo 'Filetype : '.$attachment->getContentType().'<br>'; // return image/jpeg echo 'MIME part string : '.$attachment->getMimePartStr().'<br>'; // return the whole MIME part of the attachment $stream = $attachment->getStream(); // get the stream of the attachment file $attachment->save('/path/to/save/myattachment/', Parser::ATTACHMENT_DUPLICATE_SUFFIX); // return the path and the filename saved (same strategy available than saveAttachments) }
Postfix configuration to manage email from a mail server
To forward mails from Postfix to the PHP script above, add this line at the end of your /etc/postfix/master.cf
(to specify myhook to send all emails to the script test.php
):
myhook unix - n n - - pipe
flags=F user=www-data argv=php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -f /var/www/test.php ${sender} ${size} ${recipient}
Edit this line (register myhook)
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=myhook:dummy
The PHP script must use the fourth method (see above) to work with this configuration.
And finally the easiest way is to use my SaaS https://mailcare.io
