i have tried substr() but its not that helpful
any regular expression may be?
here is code for email sending
lets assume body string = $email_message where all email format is written in “string”
PS: please note that some emails contains attachments

$subject = 'A sample email - Dual Format plus attachment plus inline';

// Create a boundary string.  It needs to be unique (not in the text) so ...
// We are going to use the sha1 algorithm to generate a 40 character string:
$sep = sha1(date('r', time()));

// Define the headers we want passed.
$headers = "From: StarLimosine <[e-mail]> \r\n X-Mailer: Custom PHP Script";
//$headers.="\r\nCc:[e-mail]";
$headers.="\r\nBcc:[e-mail] , [e-mail]";
// Add in our primary content boundary, and mime type specification:
$headers .= 
    "\r\nContent-Type: text/html; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-{$sep}\"";

// Prepare our attachment file - Read it in, encode it and split it
//$attached = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip')));

// Also now prepare our inline image - Also read, encode, split:
$inline = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('images/Logo.png')));

// Now the body of the message.
$body =<<<EOBODY
--PHP-mixed-{$sep}
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-{$sep}"

--PHP-alt-{$sep}
Content-Type: text/plain


--PHP-alt-{$sep}
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="PHP-related-{$sep}"

--PHP-related-{$sep}
Content-Type: text/html

$email_message
<strong>

or 01435 813494</strong><br/>

--PHP-mixed-{$sep}--
EOBODY;
$body=$email_message;

mail($to,$subject,$body);

Answer 1

At any point of time, the headers are in the first two lines right? If that’s the case, you can go with this:

substr($email, strpos($email, PHP_EOL, strpos($email, PHP_EOL) + 1));
