(PECL mailparse >= 0.9.0)

Parses a file

Description

mailparse_msg_parse_file(string $filename): resource

Parses a file. This is the optimal way of parsing a mail file that you have on disk.

filename: Path to the file holding the message. The file is opened and streamed through the parser.
Note
The message contained in filename is supposed to end with a newline (CRLF); otherwise the last line of the message will not be parsed.

Returns a MIME resource representing the structure, or false on error.

Note

It is recommended to call mailparse_msg_free() on the result of this function, when it is no longer needed, to avoid memory leaks.
