PHP Email Attachment Help

[kareems]

Hello,

I'm trying to get an attachment from a gmail inbox and save it. However, all the code does is deletes the message from the inbox, but doesn't save it. If anyone can offer any help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Here's the code - I got it, didn't write it.

Make sure you turn on all error reporting:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1); 


And then add error checking to the fopen() function call, and the fputs() calls too while you're at it.

Check folder and file permissions as well.

[kareems]

Thanks.

Error reporting is on in the file that implements the class. I will turn it on in all other places and report back.

PHP log on my local server reported no errors.

Permissions are all 777.

Okay, I enabled errors. I have:

Warning: imap_fetchstructure() [function.imap-fetchstructure]: Bad message number in /var/www/vhosts/my-domain.com/httpdocs/_inactive/analytics/includes/class.emailattachment.php on line 52

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/vhosts/my-domain.com/httpdocs/_inactive/analytics/includes/class.emailattachment.php on line 53

Any ideas?

[Fumigator]

For some reason the message number is bad when trying to fetch a message. Echo the message number just before the fetch and see what the value is.

[kareems]

Okay, done. Message number is 1.

There's only one message in the inbox at any time. Do IMAP message numbers start at 1 or 0?

Edit: A google search says 1.

[Fumigator]

I'll be honest, I've not done IMAP crap with PHP before so I'm just flying by the seat of my pants and what I can glean off the manual.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/functio...hstructure.php

But I must say, your thought is quite insightful, and looking at the condition of the "for" loop, $jk <= imap_num_msg($mbox), it would indeed read past the end of the message queue if the message numbers start at 0. Try making that $jk < imap_num_msg($mbox), which in your case should read the one message and then drop out of the loop.

(edit) 1? Oh.

[kareems]

Well, I appreciate the effort regardless, thanks for your help!

The weird thing I grabbed this class from a blog, and all comments say it worked for them... I've gotta have a bad setting somewhere. Maybe in my gmail.

[kareems]

I've found the problem.

Gmail doesn't support the disposition object in its messages, so the part that strips the attachment never executes. Unfortunately, disposition is also how you tell that an object is an attachment. Does anyone know any other way to tell what is an attachment??

[cymex]

Are you sure Gmail doesn't support it at all?

The Script looks for

if($part->disposition == "ATTACHMENT") {

Now have a look at the parts Array:

 
[bytes] => 1478548
            [ifdisposition] => 1
            [disposition] => attachment
            [ifdparameters] => 1
            [dparameters] => Array
                (
                    [0] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            [attribute] => filename
                            [value] => technews.pdf
                        )

                )

Some Mail-Servers call it attachment, others ATTACHMENT.

Replace

if($part->disposition == "ATTACHMENT")

With

if($part->disposition == "attachment")

If there is no disposition object at all in the parts array you should find a similar structure with the needed data.
