Running PHP 4.3.9, apache, mysql, qmail
I know it's possible to pipe an incoming mail message to a script in
qmial by creating a .qmail file for the user like:
|script
What I'd like to do is pipe incoming mail for a specific user into a php
script that parses it out (using mailparse I imagine) and puts the
pieces into a database table.
On PHP.net I see an example like this on the function page for
Mailparse:
[SNIP]
<?php
$buffer = [...] // Mail Content from pipe or whatever
$mail = mailparse_msg_create();
mailparse_msg_parse($mail,$buffer);
$struct = mailparse_msg_get_structure($mail);
foreach($struct as $st) {
$section = mailparse_msg_get_part($mail, $st);
$info = mailparse_msg_get_part_data($section);
print_r($info);
}
?>
[SNIP]
This looks like it will work so long as I put the required database
interface code in the "foreach" section. However I'm a little stuck on
how to actually pipe the file into the script so that it winds up in the
$buffer variable.
Can anyone give me a clue as to how I can do this?
Thanks,
Jeff
