Reading email & attached files

[simonrs]

I'm looking to read email from a POP3 server, and if the subject/body match certain conditions, to forward any attached files to that email to another email address. Any suggestions as to how to go about doing this?

 

I found this: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/book.mailparse.php in the official documentation but would prefer to steer clear from anything that relies on code outside of the default PHP install as it won't be on my host server.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can connect and issue telnet commands to the mail server using:

// use to connect

fsockopen()

// use to issue commands

fputs()

// use to read

fgets()
