Ok, I'm fairly new to PHP. I've been using VB for over 10yrs, so I'm not new to programming. I've also been using HTML, ASP, and VBScript for quite some time. That said, does anyone know of a PHP script that will check an email account for new msgs and pull the body of the text (which would be either plain text or HTML). What I want to do is this: Have a PHP script that would check some email box (it would be dedicated sole for this purpose) grab any unread msgs there, parse out some data, and post the results to a MySQL database on my website. This would allow me to update the news on my wbsite A LOT faster than having to do it by hand (it's something I'm doing in my spare time).
The only help I need is to get PHP to check the email, the rest I think I can handle just fine.
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I am not in control of the hosting webserver, so if it involves rebuilding PHP to include a mod, it won't be possible. But, I will be using PHP 4 at least.
