preg_split, preg_match, explode()??? Stumped

Hey All,

Trying to retrieve email address from bounced email in mysql table.

I have most of my bounced emails marking my contacts.email as invalid by
a removeme.id.tag in the sent email. But sometimes the mailer daemon just returns something like the following in the email body.

[QUOTE]

This is an automatically generated Dlevery Status Notification. Delivery To the following recipients failed. ‘[email protected]‘

[/QUOTE]

without the id.tag. So… how might I go about extracting the email address from the email body?

[code=php]while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{ //$row[‘description’] == email body text

$description = $row[‘description’];
$str = ‘This is an automatically generated Dlevery Status Notification. Delivery To the following recipients failed.’ ;
//$_split_email = preg_split (‘//’,’$str’, $description);
//$_split_email = array_shift(explode(‘$str’, $description));

$_split_email = array_pop(explode(‘$description’, $str,));

echo $_split_email;
}[/code]

Better Still… how might i just ignore all BUT the email string in the body, as the body text is bound to vary from one mailer_daemon to the next?

Also in #PHP _↴
