Parsed HTML e-mail section wont display in browser
Question
When a client receives a review on the web from a specific service, that service sends and e-mail that notifies of the new review. The content of the e-mail includes the review itself, and source information, the content comes as (e-mail header, e-mail body PART 1(plain text) and e-mail body PART 2 (HTML). I need to parse the HTML section of those e-mails and push them out to a new flatfile for PHP include on the clients testimonials page.
I am successfully able to connect to my mail service, and parse section 2 of the test e-mail i am using to test with. the problem is that when the output is viewed in the browser it's simply blank. But when I view source - all of the content inclusive of HTML code/structure/css is there. I'm at a loss as to why I see nothing (plaint text or HTML) on the front end of the browser but see everything in source view.
Here is my code:
$login="*email user name*";
$password="*email password*";
$connection = imap_open('{pop.secureserver.net:995/novalidate-cert/pop3/ssl}', $login, $password);
$count = imap_num_msg($connection); /* get number of messages on server */
$i = 46; /* message 46 is the message being used to test this */
$header = imap_header($connection, $i);
$body = imap_fetchbody($connection,$i,"2"); /* grab section 2 of e-mail (HTML) */
$prettydate = date("F jS Y", $header->udate); /* not necessary just part of testing response */
if (isset($header->from[0]->personal)) {
$personal = $header->from[0]->personal;
} else {
$personal = $header->from[0]->mailbox;
}
$email = "$personal <{$header->from[0]->mailbox}@{$header->from[0]->host}>";
echo "On $prettydate, $email said <hr>";
echo $body;
echo "<hr>";
imap_close($connection);
First 15 lines of "view source" after PHP response from within chrome.

Two problems here: a. encoding, b. content display.
Encoding
Somewhere in header (or body) is a property encoding . This tell's you how your mail content is encoded. You can then use these pieces of information to revert the encoding. It might be $body->encoding , instead of $header->encoding .
$body = imap_fetchbody($connection,$i,"2");
if ($header->encoding == 4) {
$body = quoted_printable_decode($body);
}
if ($header->encoding == 3) {
$body = base64_decode($body);
}
echo $body; // now body should have the correct encoding
Give this a try, too:
$body = imap_fetchbody($connection,$i, 1.2); <-- instead of 2
Content Display
As Marc B already pointed out, it's not possible to render a complete HTML page inside a HTML page, without an iframe. An iframe is the easiest way to display this.
But you have several options here, from tag-removal over body-extraction. If you remove the "important" tags, you get the content. preg_matching for <body>.*</body> should work, too.
$body = str_replace('<html>', '', $body);
$body = str_replace('<head>', '', $body);
$body = str_replace('<title>', '', $body);
$body = str_replace('<body>', '', $body);
$body = str_replace('</body>', '', $body);
$body = str_replace('</html>', '', $body);
