Hello all, I have an app that I wrote some time ago using Delphi and Kylix that retrieves e-mails from an account and save only .txt, .csv and .zip attachments to a directory and depending on the files it does some database processing such as updating records that are lated browsed with php scripts as well.
So, what I want is to rewrite that app but use PHP instead. The reason is that I will have this script running on a very reliable and stable Linux machine as a daemon. I was browsing the PHP documentation and I've noticed that there's a part dedicated to IMAP, POP and NMTP functions. I've already wrote scripts that send e-mail zip attachments, end .txt and html content. As far as sending e-mail I believe that I've mastered the thing. I would like to ask you some tips and path pointing on the following: 1) Connect to a POP server. 2) Retrieve messages and save .ZIP, .TXT ou .CSV attachments only. 3) If the attachments are not .ZIP, .TXT or .CSV just delete the e-mail message. 3) Delete messages from server after downloading them. Can anyone share with me some experience on this or maybe point me out some of the built in functions that would do the job? Thank you in advance, Carlos Fernando Scheidecker Antunes.
