I looked here for an answering to the following but had no luck: When using ezcMailParser(), I can get information out of the headers as follows: $set = new ezcMailFileSet( array( $currentEmail )); $parser = new ezcMailParser(); $mail = $parser->parseMail( $set ); $mailFrom = $mail[0]->from; $mailTo = $mail[0]->to; $mailCC = $mail[0]->cc; $mailBCC = $mail[0]->bcc; $mailSubject = $mail[0]->subject; $mailTimeStamp = date(DATE_RFC822, $mail->timestamp); $mailMessageID = $mail[0]->messageId; This works just fine when I pass in a file of a single email. I need to be able to get more information out of the header, though, and if I print_r($mail) I can see quite a bit of information in there I need for my application. I just don't know how to extract it in PHP. For example, [map:private] => Array ( [Return-Path] => <[email protected]> [X-Spam-Checker-Version] => SpamAssassin 3.1.8 (2007-02-13) on rsgmann.x.x [X-Spam-Level] => [X-Spam-Status] => No, score=-3.6 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,AWL,BAYES_00, SPF_HELO_PASS autolearn=ham version=3.1.8 [Received] => from 70.96.x.x ([70.96.x.x]) by mail.server.com I need to be able to get the "Received" field there to grab an IP address out of it, but I can't figure out how to access it inside the object. Can you provide any info on this? Thanks very much.

If you take a look at the documentation (http://ez.no/doc/components/view/2006.2/(file)/Mail/ezcMail.html) you'll see the method getHeader() which can be used to fetch any header. ezcMail also inherits ezcMailPart which has the property $headers (http://ez.no/doc/components/view/2006.2/(file)/Mail/ezcMailPart.html). This property can also be used to fetch headers. For further questions about the components use the mailinglists: http://ez.no/ezcomponents/mailinglists. They are more frequently read by the components developers than the Exponential forums. Cheers.

Hi everyone,

First off, thanks for your efforts. Today is my first time using your components and they are exceptional. I looked here for an answering to the following but had no luck:

When using ezcMailParser(), I can get information out of the headers as follows:

$set = new ezcMailFileSet( array( $currentEmail ));
$parser = new ezcMailParser();
$mail = $parser->parseMail( $set );

$mailFrom = $mail[0]->from;
$mailTo = $mail[0]->to;
$mailCC = $mail[0]->cc;
$mailBCC = $mail[0]->bcc;
$mailSubject = $mail[0]->subject;
$mailTimeStamp = date(DATE_RFC822, $mail->timestamp);
$mailMessageID = $mail[0]->messageId;

This works just fine when I pass in a file of a single email. I need to be able to get more information out of the header, though, and if I print_r($mail) I can see quite a bit of information in there I need for my application. I just don't know how to extract it in PHP. For example,

[map:private] => Array
(
[Return-Path] => <[email protected]>
[X-Spam-Checker-Version] => SpamAssassin 3.1.8 (2007-02-13) on rsgmann.x.x
[X-Spam-Level] =>
[X-Spam-Status] => No, score=-3.6 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,AWL,BAYES_00, SPF_HELO_PASS autolearn=ham version=3.1.8
[Received] => from 70.96.x.x ([70.96.x.x]) by mail.server.com

I need to be able to get the "Received" field there to grab an IP address out of it, but I can't figure out how to access it inside the object. Can you provide any info on this?

Thanks very much.
