Re: Passing emails to database

Please keep the emails on-list, so that others can learn, and search the answers in the archive -- that's the whole point of the list. on 25/02/03 12:14 AM, Alberto Brea (estudiobrea@fibertel.com.ar) wrote: > Justin, > Thanks for your answer > The only real problem seems to be how to capture the different parts of an > incoming email (from, date, message, etc) somehow into PHP variables. Did you even read the IMAP page on php.net? http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php I doubt it, because it clearly shows a list of imap functions, including imap_body(), imap_subject(), etc etc. Please at least do SOME research before asking questions. > Then you "INSERT" them into the (e.g.MySQL) database or do anything else with > them. > Is there an easy way to do this?

I doubt you've got imap functions installed at the moment... it requires extra components, so that may be your first issue. > As to your comment, my PHP is installed as an Apache module (on Windows), not > as CGI. Well then that rules out one of the two options (using .forward to pass the emails to a PHP script). You'll need either PHP as CGI, OR the IMAP functions AFAIK -- your choice. Justin
