RE: [PHP] Update database via email
If you want an html form in an email, that's possible, but the form will probably need to submit to a php script (via http, not email). You would just need to set the content-type of the email to text/html. You wouldn't be able to have an active php script embedded in an email (other than having it called via http). -Original Message- From: Jackson Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 8:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Update database via email I am working on a site that I would like to be able to update content (basically news stories) on via email.

Re: [PHP] Update database via email
If I were you, I would start looking into procmail. http://www.procmail.org You would set up an alias on your server... Something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Procmail would filter the email for the important stuff and pass that on to a PHP script. The php script would then update your database. Try a google search on procmail php.
