Regex Problem

Tree · 08-17-2006, 02:47 PM

I need to get a sender's email address, and currently I have this to get it:

PHP Code:

  if (preg_match('/[fF]rom: ?[a-z0-9&\.\-_\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)*?[a-z]{2,6}+/is', $lines[$i], $matches)) 

{

            $from = $matches[1];

}

Any idea on why it's not getting the address? It will get the address if it's from anything but a cell phone, which is what I need it to get anyways.

An email header looks like this (Gmail to be specific)

Code:

Received-SPF: neutral (gmail.com: 207.44.194.78 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of *************@************.com)
Subject: txtmorelogos
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 11:29:40 -0500

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
	boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C6BD63.FD9ED176"
Message-ID: <4229AB11C6B5D44FA48F7E619CA106199A34@server.*********.local>

Thread-Topic: txtmorelogos
thread-index: Aca9Y1g65Qjva9ttQ1qzqIXJHNiPPQ==
From: "*** ******" <******@***********.com>
To: <********@gmail.com>

Here's one from a cell phone

Code:

Everything was kept the same except for the asterisks which were added for privacy.

http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php#66705

not sure if it functions as needed.

That should work great. Thanks Noobie!

PHP Code:

   if ( preg_match("/From:.*?[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+.*/", $headers, $froms) ) {

     preg_match("/[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+/", $froms[0], $fromarr);

     $from = $fromarr[0];

  }
