|---|---|---|
| 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. |

or FALSE if an error occurs during the decoding.
