[PHP] Update site through email
Hy guys I'd like to know if there is a way to update a site through sending an email. Something like this, you send an email and the body of the email substitutes a text you use in your site. Igreat apreciate any help since I couldn't find anything on this topic. Thanks, doRodrigo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A good place to start might be: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php Where there's a will, theres a way. I imagine it would be fairly easy to do.

Re: [PHP] Update site through email
Hello, At my last job there were several companies that would send us text invoices by email. These email accounts were on a Linux box, and when the mail would come in the message was sent to scripts via STDIN. I'm not sure HOW it was done but I know that it CAN be done. I would be concerned about security in this case. The From: header can be spoofed, as can any other header, so before you do this make sure you have some kind of authentication scheme. Wouldn't want some lamer finding the email address and spamming it with v14gr4 email. -K.Bear Hy guys I'd like to know if there is a way to update a site through sending an email.

And or knowing how your mail system works (even if you don't have imap set up). Take like qmail for instance; it's trivial to trigger a script when an email arrives: .qmail-email_address (file) --- |/your/path/here/script.php And when you send an email to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' it will inject the contents of that email into your script. -- John C.
