Hi Brendan,
If the email is being received on your own server then there is an
alternative to polling. You can have your email server pass the incoming
messages to a php script for you.
For me (using postfix/procmail) I create a .forward file in the folder
of the user and add something like:
"|IFS=' '&& exec /path/to/my/mail/handler/script.php || exit 75 #www-data"
And all incoming email for that user gets passed to script.php

Hi there,
Wanting to accomplish the following:
1. Setup a special email address at my domain.
2. Using PHP, poll the email address inbox for unread emails every 5
minutes or so (using CRON job)
3. If there is an email extract the attachment on the email and save
as a file on the server.
4. Mark the email as read.
Anyone had any experience or has a good tutorial on how to do this correctly?
Cheers
Brendan.
