Hello, I am a web developer of 5 years, but not much into programming. Please tell me how the following can be accomplished. 1) Users can send pictures to a particular email. 2) Pictures are automatically taken out from the email &.. 3) Based on the email "FROM" location it is categorized into a specific account 4) That the user has already created on the site previously & renamed appropriately.
If you are talking about sending an image to some email and recording the hits when it is opened, that is possible. If not, then sorry I could not follow your question. regards
Thank you for responding Vooler! I am not sure what you mean when you say "Recording the hits when opened" but for instance.. ANDY sends an email to JAY with a picture in it. JAY is a COMPUTER and AUTOMATICALLY TAKES THE PICTURE OUT and STORES IT in an SPECIFIED LOCATION.
I got it now, that actually requies a server-end script be written that checks the pop accounts, probably in perl. I will let you know afte a while. But ya, that is possible. regards
And depending on the "FROM" address (header info) it can classify into a particular account (Created on the specific website)? Think of this as IMAGE SHACK except you simply EMAIL YOUR PICTURES, get what im saying? The pictures would be in ATTACHMENTS.
Ok, I got information, but not yet tested, it is absolutely possible with php + your server must support cron job so that the script can crawl through emails time to time. regards
Not much hard, it is worth testing. Budget depends upon the effort require to program it. Secondly the pop3 protocol requires account address and password. Do you think, you would have this information so that script can login to each account and extract information?

You may wanna look into PHP/PERL/WhateverLanguageYouuser mail classes. You will have to parse the email content to het to infos and data you need from an email.
