MY best suggestion is to use the PHP IMap/POP functions. It's pretty simply to
do this (until you
get into attachments.
If you are just looking for a webmail package to host on your server to allow
reading your local
mailbox check out http://ilohamail.org/main.php?page=Downloads
Though it does not user most of the PHP mail functions. The author chose to use
raw socket calls
which makes the app very fast. You can also use this to read remote mail. For
instance on my
server I have my local domain account mail but I can also read in my Yahoo mail
via POP3.

I run across this in all the user input forms I do. People are always
trying to put weird stuff in there. Usually I just use the str_replace
function to strip out unwanted characters. Cheers.

Hi all,
Say you get some text field from a user and store it in a database. Then
later you display this input. If the user has coded html in the actual
input, without running this through some kind of parsing function, it
could give you some odd results.
For example, say the user types in, as text <input type="text">
Then when you display this data (echo it), your page will show an html
input box.
I think there are a number of functions in php to cope with this, but
wondering what people find to be the best/most efficient or whatever one.
What do you do?
