Re: php execution by email?

I seriously doubt that would work, especially if you had PHP running as a apache mod. Since PHP script can not be executed on there own (at least the apache mod version can't, I don't know about the CGI version).. If the CGI version CAN, then you can possibly write something arround sendmail, but I doubt it... In PHP5 it would be nice to allow PHP scripts be executed by command as well as through Apache (not sure if that would work, anyways)... -- Nick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Sano" <sano@mail.rit.edu> To: "PHP List" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2000 9:00 PM Subject: [PHP-GENERAL] php execution by email? > > Does anyone know if it is possible to execute an PHP program with an email? > > For example, if I wanted to create a mail list manager and wanted it to send > a mass email to all members on the list, could I send an email from Outlook > to a specified URL and have it trigger the mass email? > > Has anyone done anything similar to tihs in the past? > > Chris > > ___________________________ > got sano?
