    Does anyone know how I could have people sned text message to a phone number and have that (text message) dumped into a MySQL DB?

    I know this is sort a off the wall request but I figured this forum would be the best place to start.

    I have done this one time when i wanted everyone to know how my climbing expeditions where going. I found a site in italy. You can find it by searching "SMS to E-mail" Then everytime i sent a SMS to this number, it droped in my e-mail in box, that at the time was outlook. I built a agent in VB that read my inbox every X minutes, and when it found a new message it inserted this into the blog column.

    There are easyer ways of doing this. If you look on php you will find you have IMAP functions to open your mailbox and read messages.
