Does anyone have/ know where I can get the code for a simple internal messaging system to help me out with this? Ive checked out all the usual suspects n googled it already.
What Ive got is the outline for a profiling site, n I want to give each member their own inbox. Im thinking of doing something along the lines of setting up a mail folder in each users directory and then using php to list the contents in say, date order. That still begs several questions though, like how will I be able to differentiate between read and unread mail, whether theres a security risk involved with allowing users to send text files into other users directories, and how to delete read messages after a set period of time.
Any help or pointers would be appriciated.
