Bitmasks acceptable to iconv_mime_decode
Value Constant Description
1 ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT If set, the given header is decoded in full conformance with the standards defined in RFC2047. This option is disabled by default because there are a lot of broken mail user agents that don't follow the specification and don't produce correct MIME headers.
2 ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR If set, iconv_mime_decode_headers attempts to ignore any grammatical errors and continue to process a given header.

encoding

The optional encoding parameter specifies the character set to represent the result by. If omitted or null, iconv.internal_encoding will be used.

Return Values

Returns a decoded MIME field on success, or false if an error occurs during the decoding.
