My hosting package does not have IMAP availability and I want to run PHP scripts on emails received to a particular address. Since I have access to them (they are in a folder accessble by FTP or PHP's file handling functions as files) I was thinking I could use fopen() to look through the file for data. Is there a better way to do this? Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of if I use file handling functions? Thanks in advance.
