What sort of trouble? Just trouble finding a helpful answer, or actual trouble performing a search? % % This is at least a two part question. % % I wish to use a pipe instead of the pop3 class, because I wish the email to % start the script % instead of waiting for a cronjob. Makes sense. % % 1) The pipe itself: % On a cPanel server, I wish to setup an email address with a pipe like: % [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : % |/home/account/public_html/mailtools/emailscript.php % % This always gives me an error saying it cannot foraward. Is emailscript.php marked as executable and does it have a proper shebang line at the top? % % If I pipe it to "|/usr/bin/php % /home/account/public_html/mailtools/emailscript.php" % it tells me: "No input file specified." Hmmm... How does your code look? % % 2) to read the data: % % I wish to parse the data into $from $subject and $body Greg's STDIN suggestion sounds good to me. Read the thing in and look for ^From:, ^Date:, and ^$; everything after the blank line is the body. Strip the signature for bonus points. % % The data will then be manipulated, and key pieces of data will be extracted % and sent to either a database or an instant message to my cell phone. (this % part I've already solved) Well, that's something ;-) % % % Thomas Tremain % www.LiveHost.net <http://www.LiveHost.net> % www.GotoNames.com <http://www.GotoNames.com> % www.TrafficExaminer.com <http://www.TrafficExaminer.com> HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
