IMAP PHP with embedded images not showing Codeigniter on localhost

Mr. ED

I use codeigniter and imap php currently developing project xampp. For some reason them embedded images not showing.

In my getBody() function I have this call back

$body = preg_replace_callback(
        '/src="cid:(.*)">/Uims',
        function($m) use($email, $uid){
            //split on @
            $parts = explode('@', $m[1]);
            //replace local path with absolute path
            $img = str_replace($parts[0], '', $parts[0]);
            return "src='$img'>";
       },
    $body);

enter image description here

I get error

Question: How can I make sure it gets the images correct for the text/html body etc.

Introduction

You are trying to convert an Email into a HTML Page.

An Email has multiple parts:

  1. Headers
  2. Text based email
  3. HTML based email
  4. Attachments

In the header you will find the Message-ID as well as other relevant metadata.

In order to convert an Email into a website you have to expose the HTML and the Attachments to the browser.

Each of the Parts has its own headers. When you have a url='cid:Whatever' you have to look for which part of the email hast that Content-Id header.

Serve the Email as a Web Page

You need to find wich Email part contains the HTML Body. Parse it and replace the CID URL's for your http://yourhost/{emailId} you already implemented that part so I will not add how to do it here.

Replace CID URL on HTML - Implementation

This is a prototype that may work for you.

$mailHTML="<html>All your long code here</html>";
$mailId="email.eml";
$generatePartURL=function ($messgeId, $cid) {
    return "http://myhost/".$messgeId."/".$cid; //Adapt this url according to your needs
};
$replace=function ($matches) use ($generatePartURL, $mailId) {
    list($uri, $cid) = $matches;
    return $generatePartURL($mailId, $cid);
};
$mailHTML=preg_replace_callback("/cid:([^'\" \]]*)/", $replace, $mailHTML);

Find the part by CID

http://yourhost/{emailId}/{cid}

Pseudo code:

  • Load email
  • Find part by CID
  • Decode from Base64 or other Encoding used (Check Content-Transfer-Encoding header)
  • Serve the file as an HTTP Response

Which part has my CID image?

Iterate all email parts looking for the Content-ID header that match your CID value.

--_part_boundery_
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="filename.jpg"
Content-Description: filename.jpg
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="filename.jpg"; size=39619; creation-date="Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:53:51 GMT"; modification-date="Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:53:51 GMT"
Content-ID: <YOUR CID WILL BE HERE>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Decode the transfer encoding and serve the contents as a regular http file.

Webmail implemented in PHP

RoundCube is a webmail implemented in PHP you can have a look how they do this: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_washtml.php

Note: My code it is not based in this solution.
