RE: [PHP] Help on e-mail attachments retrieval adn ZIP uncompression.

> 1) How to retrieve messages from a POP3 mailbox and save only > the ZIP files attachments? A couple of ways. 1. Use the imap (it does pop3 too) extension to connect to the mail server, parse the mails and extract the zip files. 2. Use mime decoding php scripts. There's one I've just committed to PEAR, which you can get by going to cvs.php.net --> php4 --> pear --> mail --> mimeDecode.php. It's beta quality at the moment, but should get better. Also, this is just a class/object, so it will require incorporating into your own scripts. > 2) How to decompress the ZIP files? If you're on unix, exec('unzip ...'). Or if windows, you can use the cmd line version of winzip. -- Richard Heyes
