I have a real estate website and would like to track all homes sold by placing the data in a mysql database via email. The mls system will automatically send them to me daily, how can i scrape the data from the email and import automatically to my database.
I didn't made it myself but saw this option at cPanel hosting control panel. If your e-mail is under domain name which is hosted with cPanel control panel, there is feature/option called "Pipe" when adding email forwarders. I think this is what you are looking for. Here, it is explained more clearly: activecampaign.com/support/tt/index.php?action=kb&article=331 But you can search google yourself too with therms: "cpanel email pipe"
You can pipe it to a script, or you can have a script check the email account and parse the email messages. Ether way, you will need a script to scrape the email and then insert it into the database. You wouldn't be able to do this with a database alone.
