How to get data from this object? 1

[cmayo]

I'm using ezcMail to parse incoming email and can't figure out how to get the references and in-reply-to headers (highlighted below) from the object returned by the parser (below). Can anyone tell me how to do that?

I wrote a complex email parsing class a few years ago. I spent a long time trying to thread emails based on UIDs and in-relpy-to's etc etc. Disastrous - clients don't seem to adhere to standards

however - that is not your question ...

assuming that the paste is a var_dump of a standard object then addressing the bits directly will be difficult as they are private properties of the ezcMailHeadersHolder object.

to access private properties you would need to edit the class and change them to public. or build a method to access it.

from looking briefly at the documentation there does appear to be a method to do this. so try

echo '<pre>'; 
echo $object->getHeader('In-Reply-To') . "\n";
echo $object->getHeader('References');

where $object is a reference to your mail object.

but in honesty I have not come across eczmail before, have not downloaded the source nor taken a full look at it; so I'm quite probably wrong.

jpadie, that worked great, thank you!
