Mail2PHP

[Lukas]

I want to send an email directly to a directory on my server
what script do I need to do this?
Maybe I should add a line to my aliases file like this: emailaddress:
"|/usr/bin/email2directory " ?
Thanks for some suggestions

[Brian McGarvie]

in your aliases enter a line such as:

mailprog: "|/usr/local/bin/php /path/to/your/file.php"

The below script will read the entire email recieved and store it in $buffer
for you do do what you want with it...

<?php
define('STDIN', fopen("php://stdin","r"));
//define('STDIN', fopen("dev/stdin","r"));
$str = fgets(STDIN);

$fp = popen('cat /dev/fd/0','r');
while(!feof($fp )) {
$lines = fgets($fp,4096) ."\n";
}

$handle = STDIN;
while (!feof ($handle)) {
$buffer .= fgets($handle, 4096);
echo $buffer;
}
fclose ($handle);

// Rest of Script to manipulate the recieved email...

?>

HTH,

Brian...

where can I find the exact path of php? It's not on this location
:-(

[ snip lots of places php was found ]

You could also try $ which php
If that doesn't return anything then either a) php isn't in your path or
b) you don't have it installed as a binary, only a module.

[tk@morris:~]$ where php

[tk@morris:~]$ which php
[tk@morris:~]$

Are you sure?

I get no results from 'which' as PHP isn't installed as a binary, but
results are still better than 'where' as shown by:
[tk@morris:~]$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl

Sorry,

It should be

whereis php

Here's the output from a Linux box:

bash-2.05$ whereis php
php: /usr/bin/php /usr/lib/php /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/include/php

Here's the output from a Linux box:

bash-2.05$ whereis php
php: /usr/bin/php /usr/lib/php /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/include/php

I get /usr/ports/lang/php
when I mail to this alias I get:
############### ############### ############### #######
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/ports/lang/php /www/htdocs/php/do.php"
(reason: 126)
(expanded from: <ph*@oxcamp.com >)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
/usr/ports/lang/php: permission denied
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 126
############### ############### ############### #######
Does this mean that the mail user does not have permission to read
/usr/ports/lang/php
or that it doesn't have permission to read/write in the /www/htdocs/php/
dir?

Thanks
