Email -> php

[ripman]

I was just wondering how you did that thing in member support when I respond by email -- message appears on the webpage ?

Can anyone tell me where can I learn how to do that ?

Ok - but can't it be done without PHP as CGI module ?

I'd like to install it on any ISP without requesting changes in PHP configuration.

I think that even in vb 2.2.6 there's a possibility to reply on threads by mail ?

:confused:

Nobody knows ? :rolleyes:

Your server needs to execute a program when the appropriate email trigger occurs. If you don't have PHP compiled as a standalone executable, Perl can interface to the database as well.

Ok - perl script which runs php script would be cool then ...

Can you give ma any links to cgi that could handle it ?

You can do it using apache, you need to use a POP3 class to read from a POP3 account.
