I want to grab the bounced emails from a mailbox and grab the bounced email address from the body and input it in a query to update a db. But : mysql_query ("DELETE FROM emaillist WHERE EMail = '$email'"); Seems to return nothing. why? Thanks! (code below) <?php include("../db/connectionstart.php"); global $IP_RegExp_Match, $Host_RegExp_Match, $Email_RegExp_Match; $IP_RegExp_Match = '\\[?[0-9]{1,3}(\\.[0-9]{1,3}){3}\\]?'; $Host_RegExp_Match = '(' . $IP_RegExp_Match . '|[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z][a-z]+)'; $Email_RegExp_Match = '[0-9a-z]([-_.+]?[0-9a-z])*(%' . $Host_RegExp_Match . ')?@' . $Host_RegExp_Match; $user = 'whatever'; $pass = 'whenever'; $MAILSERVER="{mail.yourpop3servergoeshere.com:110/pop3/notls}"; //Para POP3 $mbox = @imap_open ($MAILSERVER,$user,$pass) or die ("Sorry can't connect - please check your settings"); $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); echo "Messages before delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n"; $headers = imap_headers($mbox); if ($headers == false) { echo "There are no messages to be deleted.<br />\n"; } else { while (list ($key, $val) = each ($headers)) { for ($i = 1; $i <= imap_num_msg($mbox); $i++) { $header = imap_headerinfo($mbox, $i, 80, 80); $messageBody = imap_body($mbox, $i); $messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody, '<a><b><i><u>'); $messageBody = str_replace("\'", "", $messageBody); $messageBody = str_replace("\\", "", $messageBody); $messageBody = str_replace("\"", "", $messageBody); $messageBody = str_replace("3D", "", $messageBody); global $color, $Email_RegExp_Match; $sbody = $messageBody; $addresses = array(); /* Find all the email addresses in the body */ while(eregi($Email_RegExp_Match, $sbody, $regs)) { $addresses[$regs[0]] = $regs[0]; $start = strpos($sbody, $regs[0]) + strlen($regs[0]); $sbody = substr($sbody, $start); } /* Replace each email address with a compose URL */ foreach ($addresses as $email) { $body = str_replace($email, $comp_uri, $body); mysql_query ("DELETE FROM emaillist WHERE EMail = '$email'"); }; imap_delete($mbox, 1); $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); imap_expunge($mbox); $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); }; }}; $check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox); echo "Messages after delete: " . $check->Nmsgs .
