PLEASE HELP: EMAIL TO XML FILE

[scott_ttocs46]

Hi all,
    I need a script that does this:

Connect to mail server
For each message:
    Append Entry of Date Sent, Sender, Subject, and Body to XML file
Quit

    Does anyone have any examples or links??? I am in a bind to get this done and I have no idea how to do it.

Example XML:
[code]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<posts>

<post id="1" replyTo="0">
    <title>New Message</title>
    <author>John Doe</author>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
    <date>1/12/2006 01:00:00</date>
    <text>This is the actual message content.</text>
</post>
[/code]

Thanks,
Scott

Also, after it appends the message to the xml files, it needs to delete it from the mail server.

Have you got any code?

I have this for writing the node:
[code]
    function handleSubmit($parSThread, $post, $author, $email, $title, $text, $filePath)
    {
        $sThread = $parSThread;
        $sPost = "";
        $newId = $this->getNewId($sThread);
        $sDate = $this->getIsoDate();

        $author = $this->prepareInput($author);
        $title = $this->prepareInput($title);
        $email = $this->prepareInput($email);
        $text = $this->prepareInput($text);
        $text = str_replace("\r\n", "<br />", $text);
        $text = str_replace("\r", "<br />", $text);
        $text = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $text);
         
        $sPost .= "\n<post id=\"$newId\" replyTo=\"$post\">\n";
        $sPost .= "    <title>$title</title>\n";
        $sPost .= "    <author>$author</author>\n";
        $sPost .= "    <email>$email</email>\n";
        $sPost .= "    <date>$sDate</date>\n";
        $sPost .= "    <text>$text</text>\n";
        $sPost .= "</post>";
        $sThread = str_replace("</posts>", "$sPost\n</posts>", $sThread);
   
        $this->setFileText($filePath, $sThread);
        echo "<p class=\"note\">Your post has been submitted.</p>";
        return $sThread;
    }

[/code]

But I do not know how the email would work.

Theres probably not going to be any simple solution Im afraid. Take a look at the [url=http://php.net/imap]imap[/url] functions and the user contributed notes.... might give you some ideas of where to start.

Has the for each message script:
http://wiki.cc/php/POP3

I am having trouble integrating the two.

Also, this looks promising:
http://www.phpit.net/article/read-email-php-pop3/

[scott_ttocs46]

This is what I have so far:

[code]
<?php
dl( 'pop3.so' );

$pop = new pop3( "server", "user", "password");

for ($i=$pop->get_message_count(); $i>0; $i--)
{

//write to xml

}


?>
[/code]

[trq]

The pop3 function don't look like there going to get you enough infomation. If they did, you could simply put a call to your above function within the loop. eg;

[code=php:0]
for ($i=$pop->get_message_count(); $i>0; $i--)
{
  handleSubmit($parSThread, $post, $author, $email, $title, $text, $filePath)
}
[/code]

However, the pop3 functions you've ponted out dont supply all the arguments you need. Where ar eyou planning on getting that infomation from? Did you even write the above function?
