Hi all, I am trying to trigger a php script by sending an email to it. The
script commences with
#!/usr/local/bin/php
to run as a general cgi, and then proceeds to access the email by opening
php://stdin. I get all that.
However, I am editing the /etc/aliases file to create an email alias for the
script by inserting the following line:
agecon "/|/home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp"
...as per the usual process, the user where my files are is called agecon,
so I expect that when I send an email to agecon@***.co.uk it will be passed
the the script. I ran sendmail -bi to update the alias after editing but
when I send the email nothing happens. Am I missing something.
I understand that this is a php/Linux question rather than a pure php
inquiry but wonder if anyone has tried to do the same thing.
if your script isn't even getting accessed, it's more of a
sendmail/Linux question. I do this for automating quite a few tasks,
but with qmail...
.qmail-theaddress
|/path/to/php/script.php
You can read the contents of the email, line for line with...
while ( $line = fgets ( STDIN ) ) {
// do stuff
}
