RE: [PHP] execute script via email?

Sure... You can write a small php script that uses PHP's imap or pop functions to monitor any email address. (Check out http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php for details.) Once that's written, just schedule it as a task using the windows scheduler or cron in unix/linux. -- jon ------------------- jon roig web developer email: jon@trafficdesigns.com phone: 888.230.7557 -----Original Message----- From: BigMark [mailto:neretlis@westnet.com.au] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 6:27 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] execute script via email? Is there a way for me to email this script so it executes the close of a round instead of doing it from the website administration . (it is a football tipping script) <?php include("connect.php"); // Grab variables and insert into database $x=1; $Round = $_POST['Round']; switch ($Round) { case "QF": $y = 5; break; case "SF": case "PF": $y = 3; break; case "GF": $y = 2; break; default: $y = 9; break; } While ($x < $y) { $Game = $x; $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE Rounds SET Closed = 'Yes' WHERE Round = '$Round' AND Game = '$Game'"); $x++; } ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
