PHP and Incoming Mail

[octavarium]

I'm having trouble figuring out how I would even get started on code where you could email a file to an email address on your server, which would trigger a script and the script would get info from the email, get the attachment and put it in a directory. Is it possible to coordinate incoming mail with scripts?

You could do this by having a script run periodically (via a cron job for instance) and log into an email account to check for new mail. This thread discusses it.

Or, depending on your mail server, you should be able to have an incoming email get sent straight to your script. See this thread.
