I guess I need to follow Matthias advice and ask on-rev the path
to the LC engine on our server.
I had similar problem. Pending a reply from on-rev, I decided to be
pragmatic and use a bit of php.
I modified my php test script to save the email to a file, and then
trigger my LC script to operate on it.
#!/usr/bin/php -q
?
/* Read the message from STDIN */
$fd = fopen(php://stdin, r);
$email = ; // This will be the variable holding the data.
while (!feof($fd)) {
$email .= fread($fd, 1024);
}
fclose($fd);
/* Saves the data into a file to be processed by LC */
$fdw = fopen(./mail_cache.txt, w+);
fwrite($fdw, $email);
fclose($fdw);
/* Saves the data into a file to be a permanent log */
$fdw2 = fopen(./mail_all.txt, w+);
fwrite($fdw2, $email);
fclose($fdw2);
$kick = file_get_contents('http://www.tweedly.org/testemail.lc/');
?
and then I use an ordinary LC script to deal with it. Note that when I
change to use LC directly, it will be simple to replace the section that
reads the mail_cache file with reading from stdin - after that the
processing will be unaffected.
(Here's a trimmed down version of my LC script - remember the php script
is at the top level, but the LC script is inside an html-folder, so it
must use an absolute path to access the shared mail-cache file)
?lc
set the errormode to inline
-- handlers for mail parsing
function parseMail pMail
-- splits the email into the different parts (as an array)
local K, tA, tCount, t, tStarted
set the itemDel to :
repeat for each line L in pMail
if not tStarted then
if L begins with From then
put true into tStarted
end if
next repeat
end if
if char 1 of L = TAB then
put CR L after tA[K]
next repeat
end if
if L contains : then
put item 1 of L into K
if K is among the keys of tA then
put the keys of tA[K] into t
replace CR with comma in t
put max(t) into tCount
add 1 to tCount
put item 2 to -1 of L into tA[K][tCount]
else
put item 2 to -1 of L into tA[K]
end if
else
put L CR after tA[body]
end if
end repeat
return tA
end parseMail
put URL (file:/home/myusername/mail_cache.txt) into tMail
put tMail after URL(file:./mail_handled.txt)
if tMail is empty then
put empty at the seconds CR after URL (file:./lc_log.txt)
else
put parseMail(tMail) into tAData
put Handled at the seconds tAData[Message-ID] CR after
URL (file:./lc_log.txt)
end if
put empty into URL (file:/home/myusername/mail_cache.txt)
put URL (file:./lc_log.txt)
put

Re: Triggering LC scripts when emails are received
Hi Peter, do you mean the livecode-server engine with „executable? I have installed it exactly how Runrev recommends it. But you are right. Sensitiv data or executables should be outside public_html. I am already using a special folder above public_html which contains sensitiv data like db usernames and passwords. So in any case Livecode-Server engine is not running and therefore showing the complete script , no one can see this data except the standard script which contains the line with the include. But i will try this also with the engine. Thanks for the hint.

Re: Triggering LC scripts when emails are received
Alex Matthias, Thank you so much for your help. I have made a quick test with a php script, and when I entered the path of the php script, the mail forwarder detected a problem with the script (it needed to be made executable) and added the following line at the top of the script : #!/usr/local/bin/php -q Then everything worked fine : emails were forwarded and the php script ran fine. Then I made a test with an .irev script; the email forwarder also detected an error in the script, but was unable to fix it, so the test failed : the email bounced and was considered as spam. I guess I need to follow Matthias advice and ask on-rev the path to the LC engine on our server. I have one more question though : which server global do you use when you want to trap the content of the forwarded email (content, senders name email, attached docs if any...) ? I'll keep you posted on my further tests. Best, jbv Hi jbv, Alex is right. It is working this way and believe it or not, i was also working on this today.
