automatic attachment uploads

hello,

we have a website (with php pages) and has a particular page that reads
a csv file and displays the data on that page.

since we work and the firewall often prevents the ftp access, what we
want to achieve is to be able to email the csv files (as attachments)
to a set address (say files@domain.com) and what we want is to have
some sort of php program/file that will pick up these attachments and
put it in the required directory.

can someone suggest a way out please?

regards...

re: automatic attachment uploads

What's wrong with an HTTP upload? Probably a lot easier to
implement....

But if you really want to do it with email attachments, check out the
IMAP functions, which, contrary to their name, can also handle POP3 and
NNTP:

Set up your mail server to forward the email address via a pipe to the PHP
program. Then process the incoming mail in the PHP program.
