<?php

    // Check connection
    if (mysqli_connect_errno())

      }

    $result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM data where pkey='Permission' and skey='lab'");

    while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
    {
      echo $row['reply1_yes'] . " " . $row['reply2_yes'];
      echo "<br>";
      break;


    }
mysqli_close($con);

<?php

$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Tiriyo: ' . imap_last_error());
/* grab emails */
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL');

        $count = imap_num_msg($inbox);

    if($inbox)
    {

     //Check no.of.msgs
     $num = imap_num_msg($inbox);

        $body=explode(" ",imap_body($inbox,$num));
        $count=count($body);
        echo "$body1";
          //read that mail recently arrived
          for($i=1;$i<$count;$i++)
          {
            if($body[$i]=="lab")
            {

    }

     //close the stream
    imap_close($inbox);
?>   
<?php
    mysqli_close($con);

That should not be the case... Indeed the mime part in a message are separated by such boundaries, but the "parts" should be fetched without. I suspect that the message is formatted in a slightly invalid way. But for this you would have to post the whole message source. — arkascha, Apr 08 '14 at 15:37

Could this potentially have something to do with encoding? In the headers of the email it specifies `charset=ISO-8859-1`. — Nathan F., Aug 03 '20 at 17:08
