Description
array
iconv_mime_decode_headers ( string encoded_headers [, int mode [, string charset]])
Returns an associative array that holds a whole set of
MIME header fields specified by
encoded_headers on success, or FALSE
if an error occurs during the decoding.
Each key of the return value represents an individual
field name and the corresponding element represents a field value.
If more than one field of the same name are present,
iconv_mime_decode_headers() automatically incorporates
them into a numerically indexed array in the order of occurrence.
mode determines the behaviour in the event
iconv_mime_decode_headers() encounters a malformed
MIME header field. You can specify any combination
of the following bitmasks.
Table 1. Bitmasks acceptable to iconv_mime_decode_headers()
| Value | Constant | Description |
|---|
| 1 | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT |
If set, the given header is decoded in full conformance with the
standards defined in RFC2047.
This option is disabled by default because there are a lot of
broken mail user agents that don't follow the specification and don't
produce correct MIME headers.
|
| 2 | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR |
If set, iconv_mime_decode_headers()
attempts to ignore any grammatical errors and continue to process
a given header.
|
The optional charset parameter specifies the
character set to represent the result by. If omitted,
iconv.internal_charset
will be used.
