Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-03 06:39:59] simon at hornweb dot ch Hello I got the body of the file with imap_fetchbody (), then decoded it with imap_base64 and saved it in a file. I opened the new file with the Notepad and the original file as well. The text was exactly the same but these strange linebreaks. These linebreaks aren't chr (10) or chr (13) or something like that. I wrote a script who reads the file and puts out every char in the file followed by his ASCII number and a linebreak and it put out something like that. /0 /0 A/65 /0 B/66 /0 (Sorry, I don't have the correct ASCII numbers in my head) So after the fourth char in this example there's a linebreak without an ASCII number, so I can't open the file. (of course I can open it, but the programm will put out an error message and nothing else). This problem appears only with base64 decoding. I don't have troubles with the imap_qprint () function. so long, Simon http://www.hornweb.ch (I can't bring you an original example produced by my script, because I get a "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0CC92466" message and our fucking computershop chief won't be there to restart it until 6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-02 16:41:25] sniper@php.net Do you happen to read that file with fopen() / fread() ? Can you attach a complete but short example script? --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-02 15:46:48] simon at hornweb dot ch imap_base64 seems to produce strang linebreaks in a decoded string. For example, I've a JPEG file to decode. The original file starts with the line ÿØÿà JFIF

8BIM' These linebreaks don't seem to have any ASCII number or something, they're just linebreaks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13097&edit=1
