How to recive mail in pdf formate in php

To receive mail in PDF format in PHP, you'll need to use a combination of PHP's built-in mail functions and a library that can convert the email to PDF. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Set up your PHP mail script

Create a PHP script that receives the email using the mail() function or a PHP mail library like PHPMailer. You can use the following example as a starting point:

<?php
// Set up your email server settings
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Test Email';
$message = 'This is a test email';

// Send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message);
?>

Step 2: Convert the email to PDF using a library

You'll need a PHP library that can convert the email to PDF. Some popular options include:

  1. TCPDF: A popular PHP library for generating PDF files.
  2. FPDF: Another popular PHP library for generating PDF files.
  3. DOMPDF: A PHP library that converts HTML to PDF.

For this example, we'll use TCPDF. You can install it using Composer:

composer require tcpdf/tcpdf

Step 3: Create a PHP script to convert the email to PDF

Create a new PHP script that uses TCPDF to convert the email to PDF. You'll need to:

  1. Read the email from the mail server using the imap or pop3 functions.
  2. Parse the email using a PHP library like PHPMailer or SwiftMailer.
  3. Use TCPDF to generate a PDF file from the email content.

Here's an example script:

<?php
// Include the TCPDF library
require_once 'tcpdf/tcpdf.php';

// Set up your email server settings
$host = 'your_email_server';
$username = 'your_email_username';
$password = 'your_email_password';
$inbox = 'INBOX';

// Connect to the email server
$imap = imap_open("{$host}/imap/ssl", $username, $password) or die("Cannot connect to the email server");

// Search for the email
$search = imap_search($imap, 'UNSEEN');

// Loop through the emails
foreach ($search as $email_id) {
    // Fetch the email
    $email = imap_fetchbody($imap, $email_id, 1);

    // Parse the email using PHPMailer
    $mail = new PHPMailer();
    $mail->Body = $email;
    $mail->isHTML(true);

    // Create a new TCPDF document
    $pdf = new TCPDF();
    $pdf->AddPage();

    // Convert the email to PDF
    $pdf->writeHTML($mail->Body, true, false, true, false, '');

    // Save the PDF file
    $pdf->Output('email.pdf', 'F');
}

// Close the email server connection
imap_close($imap);
?>

Step 4: Test your script

Run your script and test it by sending an email to the email address specified in the script. The script should convert the email to a PDF file named email.pdf in the same directory as the script.

That's it! You should now have a PHP script that receives mail in PDF format using TCPDF.
