Returns an associative array that holds a whole set of
MIME header fields specified by
encoded_headers
on success, or FALSE
if an error occurs during the decoding.
Each key of the return value represents an individual
field name and the corresponding element represents a field value.
If more than one field of the same name are present,
iconv_mime_decode_headers() automatically incorporates
them into a numerically indexed array in the order of occurrence.
Parameters
encoded_headers
The encoded headers, as a string.
mode
mode

iconv_mime_decode_headers() encounters a malformed
MIME header field. You can specify any combination
of the following bitmasks.
Bitmasks acceptable to iconv_mime_decode_headers()
Value
Constant
Description
1
ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT
If set, the given header is decoded in full conformance with the
standards defined in » RFC2047.
This option is disabled by default because there are a lot of
broken mail user agents that don't follow the specification and don't
produce correct MIME headers.
2
ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR
If set, iconv_mime_decode_headers()
attempts to ignore any grammatical errors and continue to process
a given header.
charset
The optional charset
parameter specifies the
character set to represent the result by. If omitted,
iconv.internal_encoding
will be used.
