Forward the e-mail address to a PHP file, through forwarders in your system (depends on the mta, how and where) Than design a php file to read from php://stdin It will read the mails once they are received. --Aras -----Original Message----- From: Angelo Zanetti [mailto:angelo@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 4:18 PM To: PHP List Subject: PHP and connection to mail account Dear All. Do u know if its possible with PHP to receive a mail or connect to a mail box and do something with an incomming email ? I see there is that imap_open() but also there are sockets. Basically I need to connect to a mailbox and then when a mail is received it must take that mail and do something with the attachment which I know how to do and is not important to this question. Please maybe advise as to what the best way is and also if you have experienced difficulties with a certain way. Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Angelo Zanetti Systems developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Telephone:* +27 (021) 469 1052 *Mobile:* +27 (0) 72 441 3355 *Fax:* +27 (0) 86 681 5885 * Web:* http://www.zlogic.co.za *E-Mail:* angelo@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:angelo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
