Testable and PSR-compliant mail mime parser alternative to PHP's imap* functions and Pear libraries for reading messages in Internet Message Format RFC 822 (and later revisions RFC 2822, RFC 5322).
The goals of this project are to be:
- Well written
- Standards-compliant but forgiving
- Tested where possible
To include it for use in your project, install it via composer:
composer require zbateson/mail-mime-parser
A huge thank you to all my sponsors. <3

As of mail-mime-parser 3.0, support for php 7 has been dropped.
Most changes in 3.0 are 'backend' changes, for example switching to PHP-DI for dependency injection, and basic usage should not be affected.
The header class method 'getAllParts' includes comment parts in 3.0.
Error, validation, and logging support has been added.
For a more complete list of changes, please visit the 3.0 Upgrade Guide and the Usage Guide.
MailMimeParser requires PHP 8.0 or newer. Tested on PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3.
