I work for a small business that is almost entirely net based. 99% of our customers order from our website. I have already made a nice PHP app to take care of the ordering process, but I want to make a better version of the program we have to process those orders.
I just want to know if this is possible at all:
All the orders are emailed to a specific email address. The program would download the emails and parse them and then print out the orders. I want this computer to be separate from our database. Is there any way to have this computer used for the order processing connected to the database server via our LAN and to the net? Also how feasible is it to have the program get any new emails and parse them, then print them out depending on their correctness?
Thanks!
