    <p>I've been battling PHP's email reading functions for the better part of two days. I'm writing a script to read emails from a mailbox and save any attachments onto the server. If you've ever done something similar, you might understand my pain: <strong>PHP doesn't play well with email!</strong></p> <p>I've connected to the POP3 server and I can iterate the files. Here's a rough outline of the code:</p> <pre><code>if (!$mbox = imap_open ("{myserver.com:110/pop3/notls}INBOX", "u", "p")) die ('Cannot connect/check mail! Exiting'); if ($hdr = imap_check($mbox)) $msgCount = $hdr-&gt;Nmsgs; else die ("Failed to get mail"); foreach ($overview as $message) { $msgStruct = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $message-&gt;msgno); // if it has parts, there are attachments that need reading if ($msgStruct-&gt;parts) { foreach ($msgStruct-&gt;parts as $key =&gt; $part) { switch (strtoupper($part-&gt;subtype)) { case 'GIF': case 'JPEG':case 'PNG': //do something - but what?! break; } } } } </code></pre> <p>I've marked where I'm stuck. I can use <code>imap_fetchbody($mbox, $message-&gt;msgno, $key+1)</code> but that gets me a bunch of data like this:</p> <pre><code>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAUDBAQEAwUEBAQFBQUGBwwIBwcHBw8LCwkMEQ8S EhEPERETFhwXExQaFRERGCEYGh0dHx8fExciJCIeJBweHx7/2wBDAQUFBQcGBw4ICA4eFBEU Hh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh7/wAAR CAHiAi0DASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAA AgEDAwIEAwUFBAQAAAF9AQIDAAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkK FhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3ODk6Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWG h4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWmp6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl 5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/8QAHwEAAwEBAQEBAQEBAQAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtREA ... </code></pre> <p>I'm lead to believe that this is MIME data. I need it as an image! I've seen several classes bombing around the internet that claim to do the required wizardry. I can't get any of them to work. I don't understand why I'm finding this so hard!</p> <p><strong>In short</strong>, I'm looking for something that can turn a raw MIME string into real data.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
