Is it possible to, in principle, have a script which goes to a website and fills in a form- so for example, a script which will go to gmail.com and log in using the user form, and then use a regular expression to find the subject of the first email in my inbox? And could this go one further, actually say selecting this email so as to access the body text? Any ideas? thanks!
In principle yes, security on the other hand maybe an issue. theres a good PHP class you can use for automating web site visits and filling in forms. Snoopy PHP Class have a look at it and see if you can do something with it.
Thanks for the link! Hmm- security-wise, if the website has a SSL connection will that be compatible?
Really dont know ive never used it to try access SSL sites, sorry. Best bet is to just have a go and see.
