Hi, I want users to be able to send a simple email to say "email@domain.com" in the email it would say something like: keyword: john And then I would have a php script do something and email them back the results. How do I get php to check incoming emails?
check out http://us2.php.net/imap im sure you find plenty of help there. there's also this class (http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2.html) written by Manual Lemos which is pretty nice too. though you'll need to sign yo fir a free account to get it. hope some of this helps you out bud.
Ok, well how would I know when an email is received? Or would I have to havea cron-job check it every second or such
Yes, you can set up a cron job that runs a script every X time, log in as a specific user, then search for the keyword and finally mail back the results.
