Request: Send a blank email to php-general+get-69985@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
Hi all, I have looked into the archives but im not sure what im searching for so I decided to ask here. What I want to do is, on my FreeBSD box running PHP and MySQL, to have a system which will take any email sent to a specific address, and pipe the body of the email to PHP (or even to a perl script). Once I have the body of the email as a variable, I can do all my parsing and extracting etc to do with it as I need, but im baffled on where to start looking to get this done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Chris
