Set the Email Date Header to the Current System Date/Time

Demonstrates how to set the Date header field of an email to the computer's current date/time. Note: When an email object is instantiated, the Date header field is automatically added and initialized to the current system date/time. The need to explicitly set the Date header could arise when loading an email from a .eml. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\DateTime;
use Chilkat2\Email;

$email = new Email();

// At this point, a new email object has been instantiated, and it
// already has a Date header field containing the current date/time.
echo 'Date: ', $email->EmailDateStr, "\n";

// We can also get the Date header like this:
echo 'Date: ', $email->GetHeaderField('Date'), "\n";

// Load a .eml into the email object:
try {
    $email->LoadEml('myEmlFiles/someEmail.eml');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Show the Date that was in the .eml
echo 'Date: ', $email->EmailDateStr, "\n";

// Now the Date header contains whatever was in the .eml
// Let's update it to the current system date/time..

$dateTime = new DateTime();

$dateTime->SetFromCurrentSystemTime();

try {
    $email->SetDt($dateTime);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Now show that the Date is the current system time:
echo 'Date: ', $email->EmailDateStr, "\n";
echo 'Date: ', $email->GetHeaderField('Date'), "\n";
