Email Pipe Script

[chadrt]

Hello everyone here is my perplexing situation...

 

I followed a lot of information on how to successfully pipe an email to a PHP script.  Nothing seemed to work till I found this page http://www.webmasterworld.com/php/3679220.htm

 

#!/usr/bin/php -q 
<?php 
// read from stdin 
$fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r"); 
$email = ""; 
while (!feof($fd)) { 
$email .= fread($fd, 1024); 
} 
fclose($fd); 

// handle email 

$lines = explode("\n", $email); 

// empty vars 

$from = ""; 
$subject = ""; 
$headers = ""; 
$message = ""; 
$splittingheaders = true; 

for ($i=0; $i < count($lines); $i++) { 
if ($splittingheaders) { 
// this is a header 
$headers .= $lines[$i]."\n"; 
// look out for special headers 
if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) { 
$subject = $matches[1]; 
} 
if (preg_match("/^From: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) { 
$from = $matches[1]; 
} 
} else { 
// not a header, but message 
$message .= $lines[$i]."\n"; 
} 

if (trim($lines[$i])=="") { 
// empty line, header section has ended 
$splittingheaders = false; 
} 
} 
preg_match("/boundary=\".*?\"/i", $headers, $boundary); 
$boundaryfulltext = $boundary[0]; 

if ($boundaryfulltext!="") 
{ 
$find = array("/boundary=\"/i", "/\"/i"); 
$boundarytext = preg_replace($find, "", $boundaryfulltext); 
$splitmessage = explode("--" . $boundarytext, $message); 
$fullmessage = ltrim($splitmessage[1]); 
preg_match('/\n\n(.*)/is', $fullmessage, $splitmore); 

if (substr(ltrim($splitmore[0]), 0, 2)=="--") 
{ 
$actualmessage = $splitmore[0]; 
} 
else 
{ 
$actualmessage = ltrim($splitmore[0]); 
} 

} 
else 
{ 
$actualmessage = ltrim($message); 
} 

$clean = array("/\n--.*/is", "/=3D\n.*/s"); 
$cleanmessage = trim(preg_replace($clean, "", $actualmessage));

mail("[email protected]", "Pipe Script Results", "$cleanmessage", "From: [email protected]"); 

return NULL; 

?>

now with that in mind I took the orriginal scripting found there and added the last little bit.  But the entire process of this script has me LOST I am getting better at this but when I use this script I still get

 

--001636025c26dfe7d70474f0aab7

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


MESSAGE CONTENT

 

My question is what I am wanting $cleanmessage to output is just "MESSAGE CONTENT" nothing more.  But I have tried to filter out the "--001636025c26dfe7d70474f0aab7" and the Content-Type: etc but I am at a stumbling block.

 

It took me almost a month of trying to get this far.  My server has no standard control panel or anything and figuring out the permissions and aliases files etc was a PITA so here I am with the final leg of the mess.  Thanks for any help that can be provided...
