How do I use PHP E-mail Commands?

[ctlsmite]

I am trying to write a script that will be able to POP e-mail from a remote server, parse the e-mail text, then place the desired data into a database. I am familiar with the PHP mail function which accesses the SMTP and allows me to send e-mail, but I don't know how to receive e-mail in a PHP script.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
:rolleyes:

Have a look at the imap functions in the php manual. You'll have to recompile PHP to support it though, unfortunately.
