Zend_Mime
Introduction
Zend_Mime is a support class for handling multipart MIME messages. It is used by Zend_Mail and Zend_Mime_Message and may be used by applications requiring
MIME support.
Static Methods and Constants
Zend_Mime provides a simple set of static helper methods to work with MIME:
-
Zend_Mime::isPrintable(): Returns
TRUE if the given string contains no unprintable
characters, FALSE otherwise.
-
Zend_Mime::encode(): Encodes a string with specified encoding.
-
Zend_Mime::encodeBase64(): Encodes a string into base64 encoding.
-
Zend_Mime::encodeQuotedPrintable(): Encodes a string with the quoted-printable mechanism.
-
Zend_Mime::encodeBase64Header(): Encodes a string into base64 encoding for Mail Headers.
-
Zend_Mime::encodeQuotedPrintableHeader(): Encodes a string with the quoted-printable mechanism for Mail Headers.
Zend_Mime defines a set of constants commonly used with MIME Messages:
-
Zend_Mime::TYPE_OCTETSTREAM: 'application/octet-stream'
-
Zend_Mime::TYPE_TEXT: 'text/plain'
-
Zend_Mime::TYPE_HTML: 'text/html'
-
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_7BIT: '7bit'
-
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT: '8bit'
-
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_QUOTEDPRINTABLE: 'quoted-printable'
-
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64: 'base64'
-
Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT: 'attachment'
-
Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE: 'inline'
-
Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_ALTERNATIVE: 'multipart/alternative'

Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_RELATED: 'multipart/related'
Instantiating Zend_Mime
When Instantiating a Zend_Mime Object, a MIME boundary is stored that
is used for all subsequent non-static method calls on that object.
If the constructor is called with a string parameter, this value
is used as a MIME boundary. If not, a random MIME boundary is generated
during construction time.
A Zend_Mime object has the following Methods:
-
boundary(): Returns the MIME boundary string.
-
boundaryLine(): Returns the complete MIME boundary line.
-
mimeEnd(): Returns the complete MIME end boundary line.
