decoding attachments

[p r e e t i]

Hello,

I am working on a php script to archive emails from IMAP server. I can now
copy emails to a file or send to browser. What i am looking for is some
information on how to strip and decode attachments. is there is php
function?

I am not looking for a ready-made script. Just need a little insight into
how files are encoded and decoded through php.

Thanks in advance

Email attachments are Base64 encoded. Look into base64_decode() :

Check out the note I posted ages ago in the PHP manual entry for
imap_fetchbody:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-fetchbody.php

It's at the very bottom.
