Hi, recently I had to create a php program which fetches emails with attachments (including inline). I searched a lot and succeeded with help of :
https://www.electrictoolbox.com/php-email-extract-inline-image-attachments/
https://www.electrictoolbox.com/php-email-message-class-extracting-attachments/
Though i had to make some changes in the EmailMessage.php to make it work. I am uploading the same file with some necessary changes.
Steps to run the program :
1. Download EmailMessageFinal.php.
2. Enter the email id you want to fetch mails from , in the $login variable at line 31.
Enter password just below it in the $password variable.
At line 40, enter the emailUID you want to fetch, you can try setting it to 1 and then change it to any emailUID when you get a hold of it.
3. Just run the php file with WampServer or XAMPP or any software of your choice.
The brower should fetch the email and display it in the same browser window, along with attachments (including inline images) like this :
I am grateful to electricToolBox for sharing this awesome code with us.
I know the presentation of program is very rough. But i hope it helps you do the core part and build the decorations yourself.
Here is the code in EmailMessageFinal.php :
