So i was playing around and sent my email a text message and realized that the format is something like phonenumber@txt.provider.com

I want to make a small script that will text message my phone information, I thought about just making it run on a timer but instead I would like to make it so that I text (email) the server and then it sends the txt to me. Now the problem is I have absolutely no idea how the hell to do that . I have been reading around and theres lots of tutorials on how to make a PHP mailer but thats the easy part I know how to do that. But how hard to make a PHP script that will receive emails, or just monitor the inbox in a pre-existing email script.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be roock.

A quick google search should yield plenty of pre-built libraries for retrieving eMail. I found this at freshmeat which is built for POP3: http://freshmeat.net/projects/pop3class/
