It is possible to be able to receive email alerts (say, from Google News)
and publish them to a web page automatically?
I am a novice as far as PHP goes, but I can open and write to a file and
close the file up again. The html page references the file and can format
the plain text. So far I am OK ( I think ).
I am not sure how I would automate, or get the content of the email, and
output it to a file. Any thougths?
Thank you.

If you can set up an alias in your mail server, you could pipe the
message to a script (on that server) to insert the stuff into a database
when a message reaches that address... I haven't played much with that,
but I do have my mail server set up to transfer files with a certain
name to another server when an email arrives at that address...
Other than that, I'd assume you'll need some kind of cron script and
have it check the mail, etc from the web server... You may be able to
find some ideas of how to hanle the messages from some of the webmail
apps around.

Although there are ppl in this group that don't like it, man procmail

Because its a very sensible thing to do!
1/ It's free
2/ It's very secure
3/ It's very fast
4/ Running a GUI on a web server wastes processing cycles and memory.

PS. I can setup a linux server (including buying the computer and
operating system) for less than the cost of a Windows software licence.
I'm not saying I don't use linux (I'm an avid debian user)
It just hits one of my nerves to see OS-specific help for a question
that mentions no OS. I guess I'm just sensitive...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
