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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Mht')
$mht = new COM("Chilkat.Mht");

// Download a URL into an in-memory MHT web archive contained
// in a string variable.
// The following URL is randomly picked and was valid at the time of writing this example:
$mhtDoc = $mht->getMHT('https://www.tetonlodge.com/');
if ($mht->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $mht->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Extract the HTML and embedded objects:
$unpackDir = 'C:/AAWorkarea/mhtTesting/';
$htmlFilename = 'lodge.html';
$partsSubdir = 'objects';

// Extract to C:/AAWorkarea/mhtTesting/lodge.html.
// images and other embedded objects are placed in
// C:/AAWorkarea/mhtTesting/objects.  Directories are automatically
// created if they don't already exist.
$success = $mht->UnpackMHTString($mhtDoc,$unpackDir,$htmlFilename,$partsSubdir);

    print $mht->LastErrorText . "\n";
