Description
string
iconv_mime_decode ( string encoded_header [, int mode [, string charset]])
Returns a decoded MIME field on success,
or FALSE if an error occurs during the decoding.
mode determines the behaviour in the event
iconv_mime_decode() encounters a malformed
MIME header field. You can specify any combination
of the following bitmasks.
Table 1. Bitmasks acceptable to iconv_mime_decode()
| Value | Constant | Description |
|---|
| 1 | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT |
If set, the given header is decoded in full conformance with the
standards defined in RFC2047.
This option is disabled by default because there are a lot of
broken mail user agents that don't follow the specification and don't
produce correct MIME headers.
|
| 2 | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR |
If set, iconv_mime_decode() attempts to continue
to process the given header even though an error occurs.
|
The optional charset parameter specifies the
character set to represent the result by. If omitted,
iconv.internal_charset
will be used.

<?php
echo iconv_mime_decode("Subject: =?UTF-8?B?UHLDvGZ1bmcgUHLDvGZ1bmc=?=",
0, "ISO-8859-1");
?>
