Re: Pipe To A Program

I used your code and it still didn't work. Would you show me what you put in for your Pipe To A Program settings? What I used is: Rules: "To" "Contains" customer service e-mail address "Action" /usr/local/bin/php /path/to/email_to_ticket_gateway.php - I know the rule is working because I receive an empty e-mail, just not passing the e-mail content Ron Piggott www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info -----Original Message----- From: tamouse mailing lists Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2011 4:04 AM To: Ron Piggott Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Pipe To A Program On Sat, Nov 12, 2011 at 1:38 AM, Ron Piggott <ron.piggott@actsministries.org> wrote:

Does anyone know what variable the e-mail message is assigned within the context of “Pipe To A Program”? Is there a way to find out? I can’t figure this out. What I have tried so far is below: === #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $val) {

    $$key = $val;

$email_body .= "KEY: " . $key . "\r\n"; $email_body .= "VAL: " . $val . "\r\n"; $email_body .= "\r\n"; } mail( user@domain , "Test Pipe To Program" , $email_body ); === The mail command works, but the e-mail message body is empty. I am at a loss of how to proceed. Ron

I'm not sure what's going on with your program, exactly. Here's what I tried:

start script<< <?php

foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $val) { $$key = $val; // do not know what this is supposed to do here... $email_body .= wordwrap("KEY: " . $key . "\n",70,"\n"); $email_body .= wordwrap("VAL: " . $val . "\n",70,"\n"); $email_body .= "\n"; } print_r($email_body); mail( 'tamara@localhost' , "Test Pipe To Program" , $email_body );

end script<<

(Note: according to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php: "Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not be larger than 70 characters." Which is why I added the wordwrap on each line and terminated the lines with "\n" instead of "\r\n".) Calling the script, print_r showed the string as expected:

start output<< tamara@caesar:~/$ curl 'http://localhost/~tamara/testmail.php?a=1&b=2&c=3'

KEY: a VAL: 1 KEY: b VAL: 2 KEY: c VAL: 3

end output<<

And the email message showed up in my inbox: tamara@caesar:~/$ from <www-data@caesar> Test Pipe To Program And the contents of the email are:
