# imap_body

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

imap_body -- Read the message body

## Description

string imap_body ( resource imap_stream, int msg_number [, int options])

imap_body() returns the body of the message, numbered `msg_number` in the current mailbox. The optional `flags` are a bit mask with one or more of the following:

- FT_UID - The `msgno` is a UID

- FT_PEEK - Do not set the \Seen flag if not already set

- FT_INTERNAL - The return string is in internal format, will not canonicalize to CRLF.

imap_body() will only return a verbatim copy of the message body. To extract single parts of a multipart MIME-encoded message you have to use imap_fetchstructure() to analyze its structure and imap_fetchbody() to extract a copy of a single body component.
