Message:

i've created a upload system fo uploading emails (.msg) out of outlook (drag and drop).

So my question is if there is a way to check if the uploaded .msg file has file attachment/s. I dont need to get the attachment files only a boolean (true or false)

My Answer:
Yes, you can check if a .msg file has attachments in PHP by using a library like PhpMimeMailParser. This library allows you to parse and extract information from email messages, including attachments.

Here is an example of how you can use PhpMimeMailParser to check if a .msg file has attachments:

php
require_once 'PhpMimeMailParser/Parser.php';

$parser = new PhpMimeMailParser\Parser();
$parser->setPath('/path/to/your/msg/file.msg');

if ($parser->getMessageAttachmentsCount() > 0) {
echo "The .msg file has attachments";
} else {
echo "The .msg file does not have attachments";
}


This code snippet will check if the .msg file has attachments and output a boolean value (true or false) based on the result.
