Methods

addChild()

Registers the passed part as a child of the current part.

public addChild(IMessagePart $part[, int $position = null ]) : mixed

If the $position parameter is non-null, adds the part at the passed position index, otherwise adds it as the last child.

Parameters
$part : IMessagePart

The part to add.

$position : int = null

Optional insertion position 0-based index.

Return values
mixed

addRawHeader()

Adds a header with the given $name and $value.

public addRawHeader(string $name, string $value) : mixed

Note: If a header with the passed name already exists, a new header is created with the same name. This should only be used when that is intentional - in most cases IMimePart::setRawHeader() should be called instead.

A new IHeader object is created from the passed value. No processing on the passed string is performed, and so the passed name and value must be formatted correctly according to related RFCs. In particular, be careful to encode non-ascii data, to keep lines under 998 characters in length, and to follow any special formatting required for the type of header.

Parameters
$name : string

The name of the header

$value : string

The raw value of the header.

getBinaryContentStream()

Returns the raw data stream for the current part, if it exists, or null if there's no content associated with the stream.

public getBinaryContentStream() : StreamInterface|null

This is basically the same as calling IMessagePart::getContentStream(), except no automatic charset conversion is done. Note that for non-text streams, this doesn't have an effect, as charset conversion is not performed in that case, and is useful only when:

  • The charset defined is not correct, and the conversion produces errors; or
  • You'd like to read the raw contents without conversion, for instance to save it to file or allow a user to download it as-is (in a download link for example).

getContent()

Shortcut to reading stream content and assigning it to a string. Returns null if the part doesn't have a content stream.

public getContent([string $charset = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET ]) : string|null

The returned string is encoded to the passed $charset character encoding.

Parameters
$charset : string = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET

the target charset for the returned string

Tags
see
IMessagePart::getContentStream()
Return values
string|null

the content

getContentDisposition()

Returns the content's disposition, or returns the value of $default if not defined.

public getContentDisposition([string $default = null ]) : string|null
Parameters
$default : string = null

Optional default value to return if not applicable/defined

Return values
string|null

the disposition.

getContentId()

Returns the Content ID of the part, or null if not defined.

public getContentId() : string|null
Return values
string|null

the content ID.

getContentStream()

Returns the StreamInterface for the part's content or null if the part doesn't have a content section.

public getContentStream([string $charset = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET ]) : StreamInterface|null

To get a stream without charset conversion if you know the part's content contains a binary stream, call self::getBinaryContentStream() instead.

The library automatically handles decoding and charset conversion (to the target passed $charset) based on the part's transfer encoding as returned by IMessagePart::getContentTransferEncoding() and the part's charset as returned by IMessagePart::getCharset(). The returned stream is ready to be read from directly.

Note that the returned Stream is a shared object. If called multiple times with the same $charset, and the value of the part's Content-Transfer-Encoding header has not changed, the stream will be rewound. This would affect other existing variables referencing the stream, for example:

// assuming $part is a part containing the following
// string for its content: '12345678'
$stream = $part->getContentStream();
$someChars = $part->read(4);

$stream2 = $part->getContentStream();
$moreChars = $part->read(4);
echo ($someChars === $moreChars);    //1

In this case the Stream was rewound, and $stream's second call to read 4 bytes reads the same first 4.

Parameters
$charset : string = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET

Optional charset for the returned stream.

getResourceHandle()

Returns a resource handle for the string representation of this part, containing its headers, content and children. For an IMessage, this would be the entire RFC822 (or greater) email.

public getResourceHandle() : resource

If the part has not been modified and represents a parsed part, the original stream should be returned. Otherwise a stream representation of the part including its modifications should be returned. This insures that an unmodified, signed message could be passed on that way even after parsing and reading.

The returned stream is not guaranteed to be RFC822 (or greater) compliant for the following reasons:

  • The original email or part, if not modified, is returned as-is and may not be compliant.
  • Although certain parts may have been modified, an original unmodified header from the original email or part may not be compliant.
  • A user may set headers in a non-compliant format.

see
IMessagePart::__toString()

to write the part to a string and return it.

see
IMessage::save()

Return values
resource

the resource handle containing the part.

getStream()

Returns a Psr7 StreamInterface for the string representation of this part, containing its headers, content and children.

public getStream() : StreamInterface

If the part has not been modified and represents a parsed part, the original stream should be returned. Otherwise a stream representation of the part including its modifications should be returned. This insures that an unmodified, signed message could be passed on that way even after parsing and reading.

The returned stream is not guaranteed to be RFC822 (or greater) compliant for the following reasons:

  • The original email or part, if not modified, is returned as-is and may not be compliant.
  • Although certain parts may have been modified, an original unmodified header from the original email or part may not be compliant.

hasContent()

Returns true if the part contains a 'body' (content).

Return values
bool

isMime()

Returns true if the current part is a mime part.

public isMime() : bool
Return values
bool

isMultiPart()

Returns true if this part's content type matches multipart/*

Return values
bool

isTextPart()

Returns true if the content of this part is plain text.

public isTextPart() : bool
Return values
bool

removeAllParts()

Removes all parts below the current part. If a callable filter is passed, removes only those matching the passed filter. The number of removed parts is returned.

public removeAllParts([callable $fnFilter = null ]) : int

Note: the current part will not be removed. Although the function naming matches getAllParts, which returns the current part, it also doesn't only remove direct children like getChildParts. Internally this function uses getAllParts but the current part is filtered out if returned.

Parameters
$fnFilter : callable = null

Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.

Return values
int

The number of removed parts.

removeHeader()

Removes all headers from this part with the passed name.

public removeHeader(string $name) : mixed
Parameters
$name : string

The name of the header(s) to remove.

Tags
see
IMimePart::addRawHeader()

Adds a header to the part regardless of whether or not a header with that name already exists.

see
IMimePart::setRawHeader()

Sets a header, potentially overwriting one if it already exists.

see
IMimePart::removeSingleHeader()

Removes a single header if more than one with the passed name exists.

Return values
mixed

removePart()

Removes the child part from this part and returns its previous position or null if it wasn't found.

public removePart(IMessagePart $part) : int|null

Note that if the part is not a direct child of this part, the returned position is its index within its parent (calls removePart on its direct parent).

This also means that parts from unrelated parts/messages could be removed by a call to removePart -- it will always remove the part from its parent if it has one, essentially calling php $part->getParent()->removePart(); .

Parameters
$part : IMessagePart

The part to remove

Return values
int|null

The previous index position of the part within its old parent.

removeSingleHeader()

Removes a single header with the passed name (in cases where more than one may exist, and others should be preserved).

public removeSingleHeader(string $name, int $offset) : mixed
Parameters
$name : string

The name of the header to remove

$offset : int

Optional offset of the header to remove (defaults to 0 -- the first header).

save()

Writes a string representation of this part, including its headers, content and children to the passed file, resource, or stream.

public save(string|resource|StreamInterface $filenameResourceOrStream[, string $filemode = 'w+' ]) : mixed

If the part has not been modified and represents a parsed part, the original stream should be written to the file. Otherwise a stream representation of the part including its modifications should be written. This insures that an unmodified, signed message could be passed on this way even after parsing and reading.

The written stream is not guaranteed to be RFC822 (or greater) compliant for the following reasons:

  • The original email or part, if not modified, is returned as-is and may not be compliant.
  • Although certain parts may have been modified, an original unmodified header from the original email or part may not be compliant.
  • A user may set headers in a non-compliant format.

If the passed $filenameResourceOrStream is a string, it's assumed to be a filename to write to.

When passing a resource or Psr7 Stream, the resource is not closed, nor rewound after being written to.

Parameters
$filenameResourceOrStream : string|resource|StreamInterface

the file, resource, or stream to write to.

$filemode : string = 'w+'

Optional filemode to open a file in (if $filenameResourceOrStream is a string)

IMessagePart::getResourceHandle()

to get a resource handle.

see
IMessagePart::__toString()

see
IMessage::save()

Return values
mixed

saveContent()

Saves the binary content of the stream to the passed file, resource or stream.

public saveContent(string|resource|StreamInterface $filenameResourceOrStream) : mixed

Note that charset conversion is not performed in this case, and the contents of the part are saved in their binary format as transmitted (but after any content-transfer decoding is performed). IMessagePart::getBinaryContentStream() for a more detailed description of the stream.

If the passed parameter is a string, it's assumed to be a filename to write to. The file is opened in 'w+' mode, and closed before returning.

When passing a resource or Psr7 Stream, the resource is not closed, nor rewound.

Parameters
$filenameResourceOrStream : string|resource|StreamInterface
Tags
see
IMessagePart::getContentStream()

to get the content stream with charset conversions applied.

see
IMessagePart::getBinaryContentStream()

to get the content as a binary stream.

see
IMessagePart::getBinaryContentResourceHandle()

to get the content as a resource handle.

Return values
mixed

setCharsetOverride()

Overrides the default character set used for reading content from content streams in cases where a user knows the source charset is not what is specified.

public setCharsetOverride(string $charsetOverride[, bool $onlyIfNoCharset = false ]) : mixed

If set, the returned value from IMessagePart::getCharset() must be ignored during subsequent read operations and streams created out of this part's content.

Note that setting an override on an IMessage and calling getTextStream, getTextContent, getHtmlStream or getHtmlContent will not be applied to those sub-parts, unless the text/html part is the IMessage itself. Instead, IMessage::getTextPart() should be called, and setCharsetOverride called on the returned IMessagePart.

Parameters
$charsetOverride : string

the actual charset of the content.

$onlyIfNoCharset : bool = false

if true, $charsetOverride is used only if getCharset returns null.

Tags
see
IMessagePart::getContentStream()

to get the content stream.

Return values
mixed

setContent()

Sets the content of the part to the passed string, resource, or stream.

public setContent(string|resource|StreamInterface $resource[, string $resourceCharset = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET ]) : mixed
Parameters
$resource : string|resource|StreamInterface

the content.

$resourceCharset : string = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET

the charset of the passed $resource.

IMessagePart::attachContentStream()

to attach a content stream.

see
IMessagePart::detachContentStream()

Return values
mixed

setRawHeader()

Adds a header with the given $name and $value. An optional $offset may be passed, which will overwrite a header if one exists with the given name and offset only. Otherwise a new header is added. The passed $offset may be ignored in that case if it doesn't represent the next insert position for the header with the passed name... instead it would be 'pushed' on at the next position.

public setRawHeader(string $name, string|null $value, int $offset) : mixed
$part = $myMimePart;
$part->setRawHeader('New-Header', 'value');
echo $part->getHeaderValue('New-Header');        // 'value'

$part->setRawHeader('New-Header', 'second', 4);
echo is_null($part->getHeader('New-Header', 4)); // '1' (true)
echo $part->getHeader('New-Header', 1)
     ->getValue();                               // 'second'

A new IHeader object is created from the passed value. No processing on the passed string is performed, and so the passed name and value must be formatted correctly according to related RFCs. In particular, be careful to encode non-ascii data, to keep lines under 998 characters in length, and to follow any special formatting required for the type of header.

Parameters
$name : string

The name of the new header, e.g. 'Content-Type'.

$value : string|null

The raw value of the new header.

$offset : int

An optional offset, defaulting to '0' and therefore overriding the first header of the given $name if one exists.
