# imap_body

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

imap_body -- Read the message body

## Description

string imap_body ( resource imap_stream, int msg_number [, int options] )

imap_body() returns the body of the message, numbered msg_number in the current mailbox.

The optional options are a bit mask with one or more of the following:

- `FT_UID` - The msg_number is a UID

- `FT_PEEK` - Do not set the \Seen flag if not already set

- `FT_INTERNAL` - The return string is in internal format, will not canonicalize to CRLF.

imap_body() will only return a verbatim copy of the message body. To extract single parts of a multipart MIME-encoded message you have to use imap_fetchstructure() to analyze its structure and imap_fetchbody() to extract a copy of a single body component.
