PHP script that auto-processes incomming email

[user404]

I've tried reading through the site to see if my question has been asked before, but didn't find it.

What I'd like to do is have a script that will automatically process an incoming email.

For example, if I send an email to [e-mail], I want a way for a script to recognize that an email as arrived in it's mailbox (myscriptproc) and processes it.

The two parts I don't know how to do are: 1. How do I direct an email to a script? 2. What PHP process do I use to read the email?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

First off, AFAIK, you can't "send email" to a script. You will need to have the script check the mailbox (Just like a normal email client).
