piping mails into php

[Anon]

Hi

I have tried to pipe mails into a php script by using a .forward file:
"|/usr/local/bin/php - q /home/mailtest/mailfilter.php"

and a mailfilter.php:
<?php
$fr=fopen("/dev/stdin", "r");
$fr = fopen("php://stdin","r");
$fw = fopen ("/home/mailtest/test.txt", "w");
while (!feof ($fr)) {
$buffer = fgets($fr, 4096);
fputs ($fw, $buffer);
}
fclose ($fr);
fclose ($fw);
?>

But it is not working. It seems not even to hit the mailfilter.php file.

Anyone an idea, what I am doing wrong ???

Thanks

Andi

are you using sendmail? qmail?

what error messages (if any) does your maillog report?

also: have you invoked your PHP script from a cmd line to see if it works as intended?

I am using sendmail.

It gives me these two log messages:

Dec 25 21:09:00 africa sendmail[28553]: fBPK90B28553: from=<[e-mail]>, size=1181, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgi
Dec 25 21:09:00 africa sendmail[28554]: fBPK90B28553: to="|/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/mailtest/mailfilter.php"

I have tried the script with:
ls |/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/mailtest/mailfilter.php
and it works perfect.

Any ideas?
