<?php

// This example requires 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.Mime')
$mime = new COM("Chilkat.Mime");

// The contents of this MIME file are shown below, 
// and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
$success = $mime->LoadMimeFile('qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $mime->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
// 
// multipart/alternative
//     text/plain
//     multipart/related
//         text/html
//         image/jpeg
// 

// Convert to XML.
$xmlStr = $mime->getXml();

// Load into a Chilkat XML object so we can emit in indented format.
// (and also to demonstrate how to access the MIME content from XML).
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Xml')
$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$xml->LoadXml($xmlStr);
// The XML emitted by this statement is shown below, following the remainder of sample code.
print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// To get the top-level Subject header field:
print 'Subject = ' . $xml->chilkatPath('header|subject|*') . "\n";

// Another way of getting the Subject:
$xml->FirstChild2();
print 'Subject = ' . $xml->getChildContent('subject') . "\n";
$xml->GetRoot2();

// Using the Chilkat XML API, there are many different ways of accomplishing a goal.
// This example shows only a few possibilities...

// Let's go to the <body> tag containing the HTML.
// First we find the XML node where the content-type is text/html.
// (XML methods ending in "2" update the internal reference to the XML node.)
$success = $xml->SearchForContent2($xml,'content-type','text/html');
if ($success == 1) {
    // From this point, we know the HTML content is two levels up (to the <mime_message> node),
    // and one level down (to the <body> node).  We can get the HTML content from here:
    $htmlContent = $xml->chilkatPath('..|..|body|*');
    print $htmlContent . "\n";
    print '-' . "\n";
}

// Back to the root...
$xml->GetRoot2();

// How to iterate over all image/jpeg bodies and access the bytes of each?
$success = $xml->SearchForContent2($xml,'content-type','image/jpeg');
while ($success == 1) {
    // "$" in the Chilkat path indicates to update the internal reference of the caller
    // if the path could be traversed.
    $notUsed = $xml->chilkatPath('..|..|body|$');
    if ($xml->LastMethodSuccess == 1) {

        $jpgBytes = $xml->GetBinaryContent(0,0,'');

        print 'Found JPG image!' . "\n";

        // Find the next JPG image.
        $success = $xml->SearchForContent2($xml,'content-type','image/jpeg');
    }
    else {
        $success = 0;
    }
