Re: [PHP] Using aliases to have an email trigger a php script
Hey Everyone, Thanks for your help. It was the absolute path I needed for the toronto.txt file.

Second guess is what is the current working directory this piped script runs at? Third, although probably should be the first one, consists of a few things: 1. try using an abolute path to fopen() 2. check the result of fopen, like the example of http://php.net/fopen 3. have your script error_log() ([1] assuming your php.ini:error_log setting is at syslog) some debug messages and look in /var/log/messages (or where the error_log directive specifies) If that doesn't work and your current working directory is where it should be then some help from an exim list might be useful. I'm rather new to configuring exim.

[PHP] Using aliases to have an email trigger a php script
Hello, I'd like an email received to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to trigger a php script. I've configured the following: in /etc/aliases toronto: |/var/www/wq/email_toronto.php in /etc/exim/exim.conf system_aliases: driver = aliasfile file_transport = address_file pipe_transport = address_pipe file = /etc/aliases search_type = lsearch user = mail in /var/www/wq/email_toronto.php #!/usr/bin/php -q ? $var_toronto_file = fopen(toronto.txt, a); fwrite($var_toronto_file, Email Received!\n); fclose($var_toronto_file); ? I then send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and check the file toronto.txt but it does not say Email Received! The exim log shows: 2006-01-13 13:38:12 1ExToS-0007Ni-00 = [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=mailout2.igs.net [216.58.97.88] P=esmtp S=758 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-13 13:38:12 1ExToS-0007Ni-00 = |/var/www/wq/email_toronto.php [EMAIL PROTECTED] D=system_aliases T=address_pipe 2006-01-13 13:38:12 1ExToS-0007Ni-00 Completed There's nothing in the panic log or syslog. A few things I've tried: * changed the permissions to 777 in toronto.txt and email_toronto.php to rule out a permissions issue * changed in systems_aliases user=root * put the script in /etc/smrsh (even though I don't think I'm running smrsh on my server) Any idea as to why my script isn't being triggered by the email? Any further logs I can check? Thanks, Sean -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
