Methods
__toString()
Returns the message/part as a string, containing its headers, content and children.
public
__toString() : string
Convenience method for calling getContents() on IMessagePart::getStream().
Tags
Return values
string —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 —attachContentStream()
Attaches the stream or resource handle for the part's content. The stream is closed when another stream is attached, or the MimePart is destroyed.
public
attachContentStream(StreamInterface $stream[, string $streamCharset = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET ]) : mixed
Parameters
- $stream : StreamInterface
-
the content
- $streamCharset : string = MailMimeParser::DEFAULT_CHARSET
-
the charset of $stream
Tags
Return values
mixed —detachContentStream()
Detaches the content stream.
public
detachContentStream() : mixed
Tags
Return values
mixed —getAllParts()
Returns the current part, all child parts, and child parts of all children optionally filtering them with the provided PartFilter.
public
getAllParts([callable $fnFilter = null ]) : array<string|int, IMessagePart>
Note that the first part returned is the current part itself. This is often desirable for queries with a passed filter, e.g. looking for an IMessagePart with a specific Content-Type that may be satisfied by the current part.
The passed callable must accept an IMessagePart as an argument, and return true if it should be accepted, or false to filter the part out. Some default filters are provided by static functions returning callables in PartFilter.
Parameters
- $fnFilter : callable = null
-
Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, IMessagePart> —An array of matching parts.
getAllPartsByMimeType()
Returns an array of all parts that have a content type matching the passed mime type.
public
getAllPartsByMimeType(string $mimeType) : array<string|int, IMessagePart>
Creates a filter that looks at the return value of IMessagePart::getContentType() for all parts (including the current part), returning an array of matching parts.
Parameters
- $mimeType : string
-
The mime type to find.
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, IMessagePart> —An array of matching parts.
getBinaryContentResourceHandle()
Returns a resource handle for the content's raw data stream, or null if the part doesn't have a content stream.
public
getBinaryContentResourceHandle() : resource|null
The method wraps a call to IMessagePart::getBinaryContentStream() and returns a resource handle for the returned Stream.
Tags
Return values
resource|null —the resource
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).
Tags
Return values
StreamInterface|null —the stream
getCharset()
Returns the charset of the content, or null if not applicable/defined.
public
getCharset() : string|null
Return values
string|null —the charset
getChild()
Returns the direct child at the given 0-based index and optional filter, or null if none exist or do not match.
public
getChild(int $index[, callable $fnFilter = null ]) : IMessagePart|null
The passed callable must accept an IMessagePart as an argument, and return true if it should be accepted, or false to filter the part out. Some default filters are provided by static functions returning callables in PartFilter.
Parameters
- $index : int
-
0-based index
- $fnFilter : callable = null
-
Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.
Tags
Return values
IMessagePart|null —The matching direct child part or null if not found.
getChildCount()
Returns the number of direct children under this part (optionally counting only filtered items if a callable filter is passed).
public
getChildCount([callable $fnFilter = null ]) : int
The passed callable must accept an IMessagePart as an argument, and return true if it should be accepted, or false to filter the part out. Some default filters are provided by static functions returning callables in PartFilter.
Parameters
- $fnFilter : callable = null
-
Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.
Tags
Return values
int —The number of children, or number of children matching the the passed filtering callable.
getChildIterator()
Returns a \RecursiveIterator of child parts.
public
getChildIterator() : RecursiveIterator
The https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.recursiveiterator.php allows iterating over direct children, or using a https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.recursiveiteratoriterator.php to iterate over direct children, and all their children.
Tags
Return values
RecursiveIterator —getChildParts()
Returns an array of all direct child parts, optionally filtering them with a passed callable.
public
getChildParts([callable $fnFilter = null ]) : array<string|int, IMessagePart>
The passed callable must accept an IMessagePart as an argument, and return true if it should be accepted, or false to filter the part out. Some default filters are provided by static functions returning callables in PartFilter.
Parameters
- $fnFilter : callable = null
-
Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, IMessagePart> —An array of matching child parts.
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
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.

The 0-based index (0 being this part if $fnFilter is null or this part is satisfied by the filter).
- $fnFilter : callable = null
-
Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.
Tags
Return values
IMessagePart|null —A matching part, or null if not found.
getPartByContentId()
Returns a part that has the given Content ID, or null if not found.
public
getPartByContentId(string $contentId) : IMessagePart|null
Calls IMessagePart::getContentId() to find a matching part.
Parameters
- $contentId : string
-
The content ID to find a part for.
Return values
IMessagePart|null —The matching part.
getPartByMimeType()
Returns the part that has a content type matching the passed mime type at the given index, or null if there are no matching parts.
public
getPartByMimeType(string $mimeType, int $index) : IMessagePart|null
Creates a filter that looks at the return value of IMessagePart::getContentType() for all parts (including the current part) and returns a matching one at the given 0-based index.
Parameters
- $mimeType : string
-
The mime type to find.
- $index : int
-
Optional 0-based index (defaulting to '0').
Tags
Return values
IMessagePart|null —The part.
getPartCount()
Returns the total number of parts in this and all children.
public
getPartCount([callable $fnFilter = null ]) : int
Note that the current part is considered, so the minimum getPartCount is 1 without a filter.
The passed callable must accept an IMessagePart as an argument, and return true if it should be accepted, or false to filter the part out. Some default filters are provided by static functions returning callables in PartFilter.
Parameters
- $fnFilter : callable = null
-
Optional function accepting an IMessagePart and returning true if the part should be included.
Tags
Return values
int —The number of matching parts.
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.
Tags
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.
- A user may set headers in a non-compliant format.
Tags
Return values
StreamInterface —the stream containing the part.
hasContent()
Returns true if the part contains a 'body' (content).
public
hasContent() : bool
Return values
bool —isMime()
Returns true if the current part is a mime part.
public
isMime() : bool
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.
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.
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)
Tags
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
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
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.
