Features
--------

[](#features)

**Mime Mail Parser** has a very simple API to parse emails and their MIME contents. Unlike many other parsers out there, this package does not require the [mailparse](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mailparse.php) PHP extension.

Has not been fully tested against RFC 5322.

Get Started
-----------

[](#get-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- **PHP 8.0+**

### Installation

[](#installation)

To install the package via composer, Run:

```
composer require erseco/mime-mail-parser
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
use Erseco\Message;

// Parse a message from a string
$rawEmail = file_get_contents('/path/to/email.eml');
$message = Message::fromString($rawEmail);

// Or parse from a file directly
$message = Message::fromFile('/path/to/email.eml');

$message->getHeaders();                 // get all headers as array
$message->getHeader('Content-Type');    // get specific header
$message->getContentType();             // 'multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_Part_1_1234567890"'
$message->getFrom();                    // 'Service '
$message->getTo();                      // 'John Doe '
$message->getSubject();                 // 'Subject line'
$message->getDate();                    // DateTime object when the email was sent

$message->getParts();       // Returns array of MessagePart objects
$message->getHtmlPart();    // Returns MessagePart with HTML content
$message->getTextPart();    // Returns MessagePart with Text content
$message->getAttachments(); // Returns array of attachment MessageParts

// Working with message parts
$parts = $message->getParts();
$firstPart = $parts[0];

$firstPart->getHeaders();                 // array of all headers for this part
$firstPart->getHeader('Content-Type');    // get specific header
$firstPart->getContentType();             // 'text/html; charset="utf-8"'
$firstPart->getContent();                 // '....'
$firstPart->isHtml();                     // true if it's an HTML part
$firstPart->isText();                     // true if it's a text part
$firstPart->isAttachment();               // true if it's an attachment
$firstPart->getFilename();                // name of the file if attachment
$firstPart->getSize();                    // size of content in bytes
```
