Problem with displaying and downloading email attachments using the zend framework
- by Ali
Hi guys I'm trying to display emails in my inbox and their respective attachments. At the same time I also wish to be able to download the attachments however I'm kinda stuck here. Here is the code I use to display the attachments:
$one_message = $mail->getMessage($i);
$one_message->id = $i;
$one_message->UID = $mail->getUniqueId($i);
// get the contact of this message
$email = array_pop(extract_emails_from($one_message->from));
$one_message->contactFrom = $contact_manager->get_person_from_email($email);
$one_message->parts = array();
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($mail->getMessage($i)) as $ii=>$part) {
try {
$tpart = $part;
$one_message->parts[$ii] = $tpart; // put the part of the message indexed with what I assume is its position
if (strtok($part->contentType, ';') == 'text/html') {
$b = $part->getContent();
$h2t->set_html($b);
$one_message->body = $h2t->get_text();
}
if (strtok($part->contentType, ';') == 'text/plain') {
$b = $part->getContent();
$one_message->body = $part->getContent();
}
} catch (Zend_Mail_Exception $e) {
// ignore
}
}
And I display the attachments using the following link:
?action=download&element=email-attachment&box=inbox&uid=<?php echo $one_message->UID;?>&id=<?php echo $one_message->id;?>&part=<?php echo $ii;?>
The part variable is the index taken from the loop above
However when I try to download using the exact same code as above modified slightly:
$id = $_GET['id'];
$pid = $_GET['part'];
$one_message = $mail->getMessage($id);
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($mail->getMessage($id)) as $ii=>$part) {
if($pid == $ii):
$content = base64_decode($part->getContent());
$cnt_typ = explode(";" , $part->contentType);
$name = explode("=",$cnt_typ[1]);
$filename = $name[1];//It is the file name of the attachement in browser
//This for avoiding " from the file name when sent from yahoomail
$filename = str_replace('"'," ",$filename);
$filename = trim($filename);
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Type: ".$cn_typ[1]);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $filename . "\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
echo $content;
exit;
endif;
}
For some reason it doesn't work at all. I did a var dump and noticed that in the for loop with the reverseiterator teh indexes $ii returned are 1 - 2 - 2 !! Whats going on here how can the indexes be repeated? How can I tell one part from the others?
