How to parse japanese char (utf8?) from imap_fetchbody?
- by timh
I am pulling down an email which has english, chinese and japanese in the email.
I was using PHP/EZComponents to do this, but a certain japanese char was just not coming through so I am switching to php imap_* funcs to see if they will work.
This is what I have below, and the output I am getting. I need to decode this somehow... I know this has been well (read:overly/chaotically) documented all over the web, but I dont have time to earn a PHD in this right now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
$hn='{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$inbox = imap_open($hn,$username,$password,CL_EXPUNGE);
foreach($emails as $email_number) {
$ov = imap_fetch_overview($inbox,$email_number,0);
$msg = imap_fetchbody($inbox,$email_number,2);
var_dump($msg);
// doesnt work... .. but right idea?
// var_dump( utf8_decode($msg) );
}
PARTIAL OUTPUT:
<font face=3D"Arial"><span lang=3D"EN-US" style=3D"font-size:10.5pt"><br></=
span></font><font color=3D"navy" face=3D"MS Gothic"><span lang=3D"JA" style=
