I'm not sure why you're attempting to do the above. According to the
documentation, you should simply be able to do:
for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
$msg = $pop3->get_mail($i);
// parse the message as you like
$pop3->save2file($msg, 'myfilename.txt');
// or
$pop3->save2mysql(a bunch of parameters);
}
The $msg is returned as an array of strings. You could use the PHP
implode() function to reconstruct the array as a single string. But the
POP3::save2file() function will do this and save it to a text file if
you like.
It appears the class doesn't provide any support for parsing the message
internally. So that part is up to you. However, you could set up a loop
like this:
for ($j = 0; $j < count($msg); $j++) {
if (strpos($msg[$i], 'Subject: ') == 0)
// got the subject line
if (strpos($msg[$i], 'From: ') == 0)
// got the From: address line
}
Parsing the subject line and From: address is up to you. But there are
plenty of PHP functions to search and parse strings.
