piping email to PHP

[Anon]

Hi there,

I am trying to pipe email directly to be read by a PHP script and I was wondering if anyone else has done it before? I'm using Exim on the server and have added the following to my /etc/valiases/domain file:

|/home/mydomain/public_html/emailparse/email/email.php

but when I send an email to that address I get the following error:

pipe to |/home/mydomain/public_html/emailparse/email/email.php
generated by [e-mail]

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

------ pipe to |/home/mydomain/public_html/emailparse/email/email.php
generated by [e-mail] ------

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
Content-type: text/html

---

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've set the email.php file with all permissions needed

Thanks

John

Well, not seeing your email.php script I have to wonder. But here's an article that may suggest something to you about what might be up:

PS: In the article, I'd change /dev/stdin to php://stdin
