I did a bit of research on the same subject a couple months back for an
upcomming project. I still have not gotten to it so wont have to many
specifics for you, but what I would recommend is NOT using php for this
task. I would say your best bet, assuming a unix install, is to use
procmail to filter mail and remove attachments to a given directory.
Procmail will need help from something like metamail to decode the
attachment and save it. Then have PHP do the work of putting the file
into the DB. Just my 2 cents.
