Here's a copy of it my all of my code:http://pastebin.com/bRARHt0u

I know, but what i'm trying to understand is, why the combination of $image and [$cid] prints the filename of the second image, even if i do not define these variables as their img tag source matches and cid source matches, it appears anyway. Why is that?

I did this: $srcMatch[2][0] = $image; $cidMatch[1][0] = $cid; $image[$cid] = $filename; print_r($filename); and it prints Image2.gif For learning purposes, Howcome it prints the filename of the image though?i also changed the indexes to 1, for it to look for Image1[2] instead $srcMatch[2][1] = $image; $cidMatch[1][1] = $cid; But it still prints Image2[2].gif

I don't really follow that last example you gave:$images[$cid] = $filename; Could you give me an example/sample please?

When i say scope i mean for e.g.:mimheaders.txt:Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_001_0015_01CCD6A7.473AA550" Content-Type: image/gif; name="Image1[2].gif"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64Content-ID: <813DEC0642E941F0845447B680DA566A@BrinardHP> Content-Type: image/gif; name="Image2[2].gif"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64Content-ID: <6829CB8F2D5D43AAB115DE06572E770A@BrinardHP> how to distinguish between which name= attribute belongs to which Content-ID. So there presents the matter of creating a scope of a certain range, so the script would know where to look.PHP says: "Oh so you have this CID match but there are multiple images in the entire email's mime headers? So let's just shrink the range to the correct placement, and scope the proper name element match."So the above code example for mimeheaders.txt, becomes: Content-Type: image/gif; name="Image2[2].gif"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64Content-ID: <6829CB8F2D5D43AAB115DE06572E770A@BrinardHP> PHP says: "So we noticed this CID match is on the same line as the Content-ID: and lines not to far from it, there is a name attribute called "Image2[2].gif", this must be the name match your looking for".This is really what i'm getting at you know?

This is how it appears:The first array is the matches from the <img> tag and the second it the matches from the name elements of the MIME headers And still there's that issue of creating a Scope. Matched image tag sourcesArray( [0] => cid:813DEC0642E941F0845447B680DA566A@BrinardHP [1] => cid:6829CB8F2D5D43AAB115DE06572E770A@BrinardHP [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => [6] => [7] => [8] => [9] => [10] => [11] => [12] =>) Matches foundArray( [0] => Image1[2].gif [1] => Image2[2].gif [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => [6] => [7] => [8] => [9] => [10] => [11] => [12] =>)

I followed your advice by seeing how you link up the attachments with the html body andIn the first for loop in your script you provided i included this: $fp = fopen('mimeheaders.txt', 'w'); $mimepart = imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 1); //1st part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 2); //2nd part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 3); //3rd part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 4); //4th part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 5); //3rd part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 6); //4th part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 7); //4th part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 8); //3rd part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 9); //4th part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 10); //4th part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 11); //3rd part $mimepart .= imap_fetchmime($mbox, $no, 12); //4th part fwrite($fp, $mimepart); fclose($fp); $rawmime = file_get_contents('mimeheaders.txt'); So in the mimeheaders.txt file, we have: Content-Type: multipart/alternative;boundary="----=_NextPart_001_0015_01CCD6A7.473AA550"Content-Type: image/gif; name="Image1[2].gif"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64Content-ID: <813DEC0642E941F0845447B680DA566A@BrinardHP>Content-Type: image/gif; name="Image2[2].gif"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64Content-ID: <6829CB8F2D5D43AAB115DE06572E770A@BrinardHP> Now i wrote this to match all <img> tags in the email body: if (preg_match_all('/<img\s+([^>]*)src="(([^"]*))"\s+([^>]*)(.*?)>/i', $html_part, $srcMatch)) { echo 'Matched image tag sources'; echo '<pre>';$srcArr = array( $srcMatch[2][0], //list up to 12 image matches $srcMatch[2][1], $srcMatch[2][2], $srcMatch[2][3], $srcMatch[2][4], $srcMatch[2][5], $srcMatch[2][6], $srcMatch[2][7], $srcMatch[2][8], $srcMatch[2][9], $srcMatch[2][10], $srcMatch[2][11], $srcMatch[2][12], ); print_r($srcArr); echo '</pre>'; } else { echo 'No matches found for image tag'; } I wrote this to match the filename/name: //Here we are setting up real filename matches // var $rawmime (See imapScript.php) if(preg_match_all('/Content-Type:(.*);\s+name="(.*)"/', $rawmime, $nameAttr)){ echo 'Matches found'; echo '<pre>';$nameArr = array( $nameAttr[2][0], //number of array items equiv. to source $nameAttr[2][1], $nameAttr[2][2], $nameAttr[2][3], $nameAttr[2][4], $nameAttr[2][5], $nameAttr[2][6], $nameAttr[2][7], $nameAttr[2][8], $nameAttr[2][9], $nameAttr[2][10], $nameAttr[2][11], $nameAttr[2][12], ); print_r($nameArr); echo '</pre>'; } else { echo 'No match, Check your regular expression'; } I tried something like: if($srcMatch[2] == $nameAttr[2]){preg_replace($srcMatch, $nameAttr, $html_part);} But i receive parameter errors, about string expections, and array given, So i would use an implode function to convert it to string, but even then, the preg_replace expects delimiters. But a bigger problems is i want to create a Scope that the script will know where to look when look for filename/name elements, instead of matching all of them at once. How can i do both of these? Or i there something i'm completely doing wrong?Because i just want to replace the name match with the correct img tag source match.

No CID won't always be the case, sometimes those <img> tags may actually carry the original filename of the picture. But i'll try analyzing between the attachments and the HTML.

Ok so for example, the script list all images in the directory as an array. Now I haveforeach($imgmatch as $image){preg_replace('/src="(.*)"/', '/src="$image"/', $html_part)} What concerns me is when i have images that are shrouded in <img> tags like this: src=3D"cid:813DEC0642E941F0845447B680DA566A@BrinardHP"

The full reference for that is actually: <img style=3D"width:213px=3Bheight:213=px=3Bborder:0=3B" src="https://******.storage.live.com/y1pZinLnQnaoBClW=RMsQ5sAzEF1H4HGond-KoaAjdcEX0GCp9HzrWa2RSJwI9ngxR7WIub5M9Ps810/cloudsprite.=jpg">'; Is there a function in the manual that could help me loop through? I've looked for a while and haven't come across any.

I think it's time to follow your advice and find create a 'universal' image replacement.Because i have completed the tested the handling of images for Microsoft Outlook: /***************************** 1st image in email**********************************/if (preg_match('/cid:([^"@]*).(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp)@([^"]*)/', $html_part, $m)){ $find = '/cid:'.$m[1].'.'.$m[2].'@([^"]*)/'; if ($m[2] == 'png') $replace = $png1;if ($m[2] == 'jpg') $replace = $jpg1;if ($m[2] == 'gif') $replace = $gif1;if ($m[2] == 'bmp') $replace = $bmp1;if ($m[2] == 'jpeg') $replace = $jpeg1;$html_part = preg_replace($find, $replace, $html_part);} /***************************** 2nd image in email**********************************/ if (preg_match('/cid:([^"@]*).(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp)@([^"]*)/', $html_part, $m)){ $find = '/cid:'.$m[1].'.'.$m[2].'@([^"]*)/'; if ($m[2] == 'png') $replace = $png2;if ($m[2] == 'jpg') $replace = $jpg2;if ($m[2] == 'gif') $replace = $gif2;if ($m[2] == 'bmp') $replace = $bmp2;if ($m[2] == 'jpeg') $replace = $jpeg2; $html_part = preg_replace($find, $replace, $html_part);} But when it comes down to other email clients i've tested:Windows Live Mail: src=3D"cid:813DEC0642E941F0845447B680DA566A@BrinardHP" Hotmail: src="https://*****.storage.live.com/y1pZinLnQnaoBClW=RMsQ5sAzEF1H4HGond-KoaAjdcEX0GCp9HzrWa2RSJwI9ngxR7WIub5M9Ps810/cloudsprite.=jpg" iPhone's default mail app src="cid:1D8E2297-F260-4555-8223-304A9DB08CC5/image.jpeg" So instead of spending days possibly coding an image handler based on a specific email clients cid: references, your idea of looping from all the images in a directory is more feasible, but i truly have no idea where to start off with doing that. Any ideas?

I see.

Oh thanks for letting me know..is there a regex manual equivalent to the php manual.I'm only aware of regular-expressions.info

I must ask for learning purposes.Why does this snippet of code even with the 's' modifier not get multiple lines $content = preg_match('/Message: ([^"@]*)/s', $html_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; But the code below does $content = preg_match('/Message: (.*)/s', $html_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; The regex in the brackets are different, but what characters or other entities does the [^"@]* exclude

Perfect! That worked. I just didn't immediately think of re-declaring it as $content

I used mysql_real_escape_string($content, $db); before the SQL injection and i stil receive the same error. Now here i change $html_part to $text_part and still the injection has a problem with any kind of quotes. $content = preg_match('/Message: ([^"@]*)/s', $text_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; Result:

Ok thanks, i got it done.Also this is a snippet of code from my script. Could you possibly tell me why whenever i run it to insert into the table, i get this error with a test email with just text and paragraphs: I looked at the source formatting and saw that the style for this paragraph is shown as style='font-size:12.0pt'> instead of with double-quotes. That should be the issue right? function newsupdate ($text_part, $html_part){//Login to MySQL Datebase$hostname = "localhost";$db_user = "user";$db_password = "password";$database = "database";$db_table = "table";$db = mysql_connect($hostname, $db_user, $db_password);mysql_select_db($database,$db);//These functions searches the open e-mail for the the prefix defining strings.//Need a function to search after the space after the strings because the subject, categories, snippet, tags and message are constant-changing.$subject = preg_match('/Title: (.*)/', $text_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';$subject = str_replace("Title: ", "" ,$subject); $categories = preg_match('/Categories: (.*)/', $text_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';$categories = str_replace("Categories: ", "" ,$categories); $tags = preg_match('/Tags: (.*)/', $text_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; $tags = str_replace("Tags: ", "" ,$tags); $snippet = preg_match('/Snippet: (.*)/', $text_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; $snippet = str_replace("Snippet: ", "" ,$snippet); // removes the snippet prefix$content = preg_match('/Message: ([^"@]*)/s', $html_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; $content = str_replace("Message: ", "" ,$content); $when = strtotime("now"); $uri = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-", $subject)); $uri = substr($uri, 0, 20); /*** THIS CODE WILL TELL MYSQL TO INSERT THE DATA FROM THE EMAIL INTO YOUR MYSQL TABLE ***/$sql = "INSERT INTO $db_table(`caption`,`snippet`,`content`,`when`,`uri`,`tags`,`categories`,`DATE`) values ('$subject','$snippet','$content','$when','$uri','$tags','$categories','$when')";if($result = mysql_query($sql ,$db)) {} else {echo "ERROR: ".mysql_error();}//echo "<h1>News Article added!</h1>"; //uncomment for testing purposes} //end defining the function NewsUpdate

From the script you gave me, do you know anyway i can see the entire source code of an email message?That shows all the X-Mailer, Return-parth, Delivery-date, X-Originating-IP, and so forth? I researcehd through most of the imap functions in the manual and couldn't find anything that could.

Ok i'm going to try something and post back here. Also,$content = preg_match('/Message: (.*)/', $html_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; This only captures whats on the first line. I have set a certain amount of rules for the php script on the whole, so everything after Message: will be the body content for the news article. I want to get everything (paragrahps, images) after Message:.The regex next to it only gets whats on that line though. I modified it to this $content = preg_match('/Message: ([^"@]*)/', $html_part, $matches) ? $matches[1] : ''; But that only gets one paragraph. I need support for multiple paragraphs, line breaks and such. Could you show me a modified regex that will do this?

Could you point me in the right direction (i.e. php.net manuals) or can could you possibly draw me up some example code of what you are suggesting so i could do this? To avoid writing a setting of functions to look for based on an email client's specific image sequence naming protocol.

I found out you were also right about the filename extensions comment. I assumed that all email clients name their images like Outlook does "image001.png" When i tested it with Windows Live Mail, they named their images with "Image1[2].gif", "Image2[2].gif". I'd also have to possibly try G-mail and Yahoo as well. What do you recommend so i would have to avoid building a series of if statements that looks for the X-Mailer: portion to know how to handle the images in that email?

How can i modifiy the regex to look for the specific filenames? I really don't know that much about editing it.#src="cid:([^"@]*)@([^"]*)"# EDIT:Well i edited this way #src="cid:([^"@]*).jpg@([^"]*)"# and it worked in a test preg_replace function i did. Just to be sure, is that the correct way? Should i have any reserves or precautions about just adding the filename extension smack in the middle like that?

But now knowing what i told you about me using Cron jobs, wouldn't this still come into conflict with it? I mean how nothing will really be done manually, so i can't go through the list of attachments. You said the regex could be modified to look for specific filename extensions? I believe you posted an example of it on the previous page though it was an exact copy of what you gave me before.

I should've mentioned early on, this script would be used solely for Cron jobs to periodically update the news feed whenever an email is sent and to check at a given date and time.That is why i have alot of things and goals to run these automatically without much manual editing except for the initial setup. Does this change anything i should know about?

Thanks for that, though how would the script be able to differentiate between the different image filetypes that could be inserted into the email? (.gif, .png, .jpg, .bmp) then saved to the images folder.
