cholt123 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 is it possible to have a script read/recieve an email and going off the content such as subject perform an action? If so how do you set it up to read an email? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37544-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I don't think it is. Perhaps there is an easier way - like setting up a cron job or something? What are you trying to do?

roopurt18 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Set up two cron jobs. The first is a shell script that checks for new email and sticks it into a file. The second is a PHP script that checks for that file and does stuff with the information in it. (EDIT) Or just execute the PHP script from within the shell script and use only cron job!

ShogunWarrior Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If you have Cpanel I believe you can forward incoming mail to a CGI file. (Not sure if PHP will work) E.g: You could forward [email protected] to mailHandler.cgi Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37544-help-please/#findComment-179507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
