PHP 8.4.1 Released!

quoted_printable_decode

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

quoted_printable_decodeПреобразовывает строку, закодированную методом quoted-printable, в 8-битную строку

Описание

quoted_printable_decode(string $string): string

Эта функция возвращает 8-битную бинарную строку, соответствующую указанной строке в кодировке quoted-printable (в соответствии с разделом 6.7 » RFC2045, а не разделом 4.5.2 » RFC2821, то есть дополнительные точки не будут вырезаны из начала строки).

Эта функция подобна функции imap_qprint(), но не требует для своей работы модуля IMAP.

Список параметров

string

Входная строка.

Возвращаемые значения

Возвращает 8-битную бинарную строку.

Примеры

If you're getting black diamonds or weird characters that seemingly block an echo but still encounter strlen($string) > 0 you're probably encountering an encoding issue. Unlike the people writing ENCODE functions on a DECODE page I will actually talk about DECODE on a DECODE page.

The specific problem I encountered was that an email was encoded using a Russian encoding (KOI8-R) though I output everything as UTF-8 because: compatibility.

If you try to do this with a Russian encoding:

<?php
echo quoted_printable_decode('=81');
?>

You'll get that corrupted data.

I did a couple of tests and it turns out the following is how you nest the mb_convert_encoding function:

<?php
echo '<p>Test: "'.mb_convert_encoding(quoted_printable_decode('=81'), 'UTF-8', 'KOI8-R').'".</p>';
?>

Unfortunately I could not find a character mapping table or anything listed under RFC 2045 Section 6.7. However I came across the website https://dencode.com/en/string/quoted-printable which allows you to manually choose the encoding (it's an open source site, they have a GIT repository for the morbidly curious).

As it turns out the start of the range is relative to the encoding. So Latin (ISO-8859-1) and Russian (KOI8-R) will likely (not tested this) encode to different characters **relative to the string encoding**.

Taking a bunch of the earlier comments together, you can synthesize a nice short and reasonably efficient quoted_printable_encode function like this:

Note that I put this in my standard library file, so I wrap it in a !function_exists in order that if there is a pre-existing PHP one it will just work and this will evaluate to a noop.

<?php
if ( !function_exists("quoted_printable_encode") ) {
/**
* Process a string to fit the requirements of RFC2045 section 6.7. Note that
* this works, but replaces more characters than the minimum set. For readability
* the spaces aren't encoded as =20 though.
*/
function quoted_printable_encode($string) {
return
preg_replace('/[^\r\n]{73}[^=\r\n]{2}/', "$0=\r\n", str_replace("%","=",str_replace("%20"," ",rawurlencode($string))));
}
}
?>

Andrew McMillan.

Some browser (netscape, for example)
send 8-bit quoted printable text like this:
=C5=DD=A3=D2=C1= =DA

"= =" means continuos word.
php function not detect this situations and translate in string like:
abcde=f

Be warned! The method below for encoding text does not work as requested by RFC1521!

Consider a line consisting of 75 'A' and a single é (or similar non-ASCII character) ... the method below would encode and return a line of 78 octets, breaking with RFC 1521, 5.1 Rule #5: "The Quoted-Printable encoding REQUIRES that encoded lines be no more than 76 characters long."

Good QP-encoding takes a bit more than this.

If you do not have access to imap_* and do not want to use
?$message = chunk_split( base64_encode($message) );?
because you want to be able to read the ?source? of your mails, you might want to try this:
(any suggestions very welcome!)


function qp_enc($input = "quoted-printable encoding test string", $line_max = 76) {

$hex = array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F');
$lines = preg_split("/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/", $input);
$eol = "\r\n";
$escape = "=";
$output = "";

while( list(, $line) = each($lines) ) {
//$line = rtrim($line); // remove trailing white space -> no =20\r\n necessary
$linlen = strlen($line);
$newline = "";
for($i = 0; $i < $linlen; $i++) {
$c = substr($line, $i, 1);
$dec = ord($c);
if ( ($dec == 32) && ($i == ($linlen - 1)) ) { // convert space at eol only
$c = "=20";
} elseif ( ($dec == 61) || ($dec < 32 ) || ($dec > 126) ) { // always encode "\t", which is *not* required
$h2 = floor($dec/16); $h1 = floor($dec%16);
$c = $escape.$hex["$h2"].$hex["$h1"];
}
if ( (strlen($newline) + strlen($c)) >= $line_max ) { // CRLF is not counted
$output .= $newline.$escape.$eol; // soft line break; " =\r\n" is okay
$newline = "";
}
$newline .= $c;
} // end of for
$output .= $newline.$eol;
}
return trim($output);

}

$eight_bit = "\xA7 \xC4 \xD6 \xDC \xE4 \xF6 \xFC \xDF = xxx yyy zzz \r\n"
." \xA7 \r \xC4 \n \xD6 \x09 ";
print $eight_bit."\r\n---------------\r\n";
$encoded = qp_enc($eight_bit);

Please note that in the below encode function there is a bug!

<?php
if (($c==0x3d) || ($c>=0x80) || ($c<0x20))
?>

$c should be checked against less or equal to encode spaces!

so the correct code is

<?php
if (($c==0x3d) || ($c>=0x80) || ($c<=0x20))
?>

Fix the code or post this note, please

A small update for Andrew's code below. This one leaves the original CRLF pairs intact (and allowing the preg_replace to work as intended):

<?php
if (!function_exists("quoted_printable_encode")) {
/**
* Process a string to fit the requirements of RFC2045 section 6.7. Note that
* this works, but replaces more characters than the minimum set. For readability
* the spaces and CRLF pairs aren't encoded though.
*/
function quoted_printable_encode($string) {
return
preg_replace('/[^\r\n]{73}[^=\r\n]{2}/', "$0=\r\n",
str_replace("%", "=", str_replace("%0D%0A", "\r\n",
str_replace("%20"," ",rawurlencode($string)))));
}
}
?>

If you want a function to do the reverse of "quoted_printable_decode()", follow the link you will find the "quoted_printable_encode()" function:
http://www.memotoo.com/softs/public/PHP/quoted printable_encode.inc.php

Compatible "ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE"
Example:
quoted_printable_encode(ut8_encode("c'est quand l'été ?"))
-> "c'est quand l'=C3=A9t=C3=A9 ?"

If you're really lazy and producing HTML anyways and the end, just convert it to HTML entities and move the Unicode/ISO struggling to the document's encoding:

<?php
function qpd($e)
{
return
preg_replace_callback(
'/=([a-z0-9]{2})/i',
function (
$m) {
return
'&#x00' . $m[1] . ';';
},
$e
);
}

I use a hack for this bug:

if (strlen($str) > 73) {$str = substr($str,0,74)."=\n".substr($str,74);}

As the two digit hexadecimal representation SHOULD be in uppercase you want to use "=%02X" (uppercase X) instead of "=%02x" as the first argument to sprintf().

Another (improved) version of quoted_printable_encode(). Please note the order of the array elements in str_replace().
I've just rewritten the previous function for better readability.

<?php
if (!function_exists("quoted_printable_encode")) {
/**
* Process a string to fit the requirements of RFC2045 section 6.7. Note that
* this works, but replaces more characters than the minimum set. For readability
* the spaces and CRLF pairs aren't encoded though.
*/
function quoted_printable_encode($string) {
$string = str_replace(array('%20', '%0D%0A', '%'), array(' ', "\r\n", '='), rawurlencode($string));
$string = preg_replace('/[^\r\n]{73}[^=\r\n]{2}/', "$0=\r\n", $string);

return
$string;
}

My version of quoted_printable encode, as the convert.quoted-printable-encode filter breaks on outlook express. This one seems to work on express/outlook/thunderbird/gmail.

function quoted_printable_encode($txt) {
$tmp="";
$line="";
for ($i=0;$i<strlen($txt);$i++) {
if (($txt[$i]>='a' && $txt[$i]<='z') || ($txt[$i]>='A' && $txt[$i]<='Z') || ($txt[$i]>='0' && $txt[$i]<='9'))
$line.=$txt[$i];
else
$line.="=".sprintf("%02X",ord($txt[$i]));
if (strlen($line)>=75) {
$tmp.="$line=\n";
$line="";
}
}
$tmp.="$line\n";
return $tmp;

stream_filter_append($fp, 'convert.quoted-printable-encode');

As soletan at toxa dot de reported, that function is very bad and does not provide valid enquoted printable strings. While using it I saw spam agents marking the emails as QP_EXCESS and sometimes the email client did not recognize the header at all; I really lost time :(. This is the new version (we use it in the Drake CMS core) that works seamlessly:

<?php

//L: note $encoding that is uppercase
//L: also your PHP installation must have ctype_alpha, otherwise write it yourself
function quoted_printable_encode($string, $encoding='UTF-8') {
// use this function with headers, not with the email body as it misses word wrapping
$len = strlen($string);
$result = '';
$enc = false;
for(
$i=0;$i<$len;++$i) {
$c = $string[$i];
if (
ctype_alpha($c))
$result.=$c;
else if (
$c==' ') {
$result.='_';
$enc = true;
} else {
$result.=sprintf("=%02X", ord($c));
$enc = true;
}
}
//L: so spam agents won't mark your email with QP_EXCESS
if (!$enc) return $string;
return
'=?'.$encoding.'?q?'.$result.'?=';
}

I hope it helps ;)

Previous comment has a bug: encoding of short test does not work because of incorrect usage of preg_match_all(). Have somebody read it at all? :-)

Correct version (seems), with additional imap_8bit() function emulation:

if (!function_exists('imap_8bit')) {
function imap_8bit($text) {
return quoted_printable_encode($text);
}
}

function quoted_printable_encode_character ( $matches ) {
$character = $matches[0];
return sprintf ( '=%02x', ord ( $character ) );
}

// based on http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1521/6.htm
function quoted_printable_encode ( $string ) {
// rule #2, #3 (leaves space and tab characters in tact)
$string = preg_replace_callback (
'/[^\x21-\x3C\x3E-\x7E\x09\x20]/',
'quoted_printable_encode_character',
$string
);
$newline = "=\r\n"; // '=' + CRLF (rule #4)
// make sure the splitting of lines does not interfere with escaped characters
// (chunk_split fails here)
$string = preg_replace ( '/(.{73}[^=]{0,3})/', '$1'.$newline, $string);
return $string;
}

If there is a NULL byte in the string that is passed, quoted_printable_decode will crop everything after the NULL byte and the NULL byte itself.

<?php
$result
= quoted_printable_decode("This is a\0 test.");
// $result === 'This is a'
?>

This is not a bug, but the intended behaviour and defined by RFC 2045 (see https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt) in paragraph 2.7 and 2.8.
