Okay, in regards to the problem...there is a bunch of extra info present when I use HTML format e-mails. I'll include a sample at the end.
The script works using a standard method mail to PHP script pipe. Using STDIN, the script "receives" the e-mail, and splits it into from, subject, header, and message.
Here's the portion of the code that does the work:
// read from stdin
$fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$email = "";
while (!feof($fd)) {
$email .= fread($fd, 1024);
}
fclose($fd);
// handle email
$lines = explode("\n", $email);
// empty vars
$from = "";
$subject = "";
$headers = "";
$message = "";
$splittingheaders = true;
for ($i=0; $i<count($lines); $i++) {
if ($splittingheaders) {
// this is a header
$headers .= $lines[$i]."\n";
// look out for special headers
if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
$subject = $matches[1];
}
if (preg_match("/^From: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
$from = $matches[1];
}
} else {
// e-mail body
$message .= $lines[$i]."\n";
}
if (trim($lines[$i])=="") {
// empty line, header section has ended
$splittingheaders = false;
}
}
and here are what the results look like when receiving an HTML e-mail:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
