# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$mime = chilkat::CkMime->new();

$success = $mime->LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $mime->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Examine the structure in text format:
$txtStruct = $mime->getStructure("text");
print $txtStruct . "\r\n";

# The MIME structure as indented text is:
# multipart/alternative
#     text/plain
#     multipart/related
#         text/html
#         image/jpeg
# 

# Now examine the structure in XML format:
$xmlStruct = $mime->getStructure("xml");
print $xmlStruct . "\r\n";

# The MIME structure as XML is:
# <multipart-alternative>
#     <text-plain />
#     <multipart-related>
#         <text-html />
#         <image-jpeg />
#     </multipart-related>
# </multipart-alternative>
