Hi

I'm quite new to PHP and haven't used it for a few months but want to improve a support call system I created by forwarding emails that come into the support email mailbox (MS Exchange) to my webserver.

I can send emails from this using mail and get the account name of nobody@server.domain I take it I can forward the emails to this address to get the emails on the server.

What I then want to do is take the from details and match it to a record in the users table to pass on the user id, search the subject line for a word relating to an entry in the subject table and send this as the subject and send the subject line and body text of the email as the problem field.

I have never done anything like this in a programming language - I've only ever sent mail from the pages.

Has anyone else done something similar who could help me with this please?

Thanks in advance!

I don't believe it's possible to send an email to a php script.

What you want to do is completely possible. You should look at this page. It is actually pretty easy to get email and extract stuff from them.

Duh, I was thinking of sending that mail directly to the script. Not using my head today.

Sending email to scripts is also kinda possible if you pipe them

great question, i just assumed that it was impossible to do so never looked into it thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks for you help!!!
