imap_mime_header_decode — Decode MIME header elements

### Descripción

imap_mime_header_decode(string `$string`): array|false

Decodes MIME message header extensions that are non ASCII text (see » RFC2047).

### Parámetros

`string`

  The MIME text

### Valores devueltos

The decoded elements are returned in an array of objects, where each object has two properties, `charset` and `text`.

If the element hasn't been encoded, and in other words is in plain US-ASCII, the `charset` property of that element is set to `default`.

The function returns `false` on failure.

### Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 imap_mime_header_decode() example

`<?php
$text = "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@example.com>";
$elements = imap_mime_header_decode($text);
for ($i=0; $i<count($elements); $i++) {
echo "Charset: {$elements[$i]->charset}\n";
echo "Text: {$elements[$i]->text}\n\n";
}
?>`

El resultado del ejemplo sería:

    Charset: ISO-8859-1
    Text: Keld Jørn Simonsen

    Charset: default
    Text:  <keld@example.com>

In the above example we would have two elements, whereas the first element had previously been encoded with ISO-8859-1, and the second element would be plain US-ASCII.
