iconv_mime_decode -- Decodes a MIME header field
Description
string iconv_mime_decode ( string encoded_header [, int
mode [, string charset]])
Returns a decoded MIME field on success, or FALSE if an
error occurs during the decoding.
mode determines the behaviour in the event iconv_mime_decode()
encounters a malformed MIME header field. You can specify
any combination of the following bitmasks.
Table 1. Bitmasks acceptable to iconv_mime_decode()
Value Constant Description
1 ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT If set, the given header is decoded
in full conformance with the standards defined in RFC2047.
This option is disabled by default because there are a lot
of broken mail user agents that don't follow the specification
and don't produce correct MIME headers.
2 ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR If set, iconv_mime_decode()
attempts to continue to process the given header even though
an error occurs.
The optional charset parameter specifies the character set
to represent the result by. If omitted, iconv.internal_charset
will be used.
Example 1. iconv_mime_decode() example
<?php
// This yields "Subject: Prüfung Prüfung"
echo iconv_mime_decode("Subject: =?UTF-8?B?UHLDvGZ1bmcgUHLDvGZ1bmc=?=",
0, "ISO-8859-1");
?>
