Save yourself hours of development and maintenance - handle incoming email in your web applications by writing simple web scripts.
By writing a simple web script in your favorite language, you can do what the big guys do:
![]() |
Flickr members can upload pictures using their private email address, like bcl24ceb@photos.flickr.com |
![]() |
Google Docs & Spreadsheets users can upload and convert documents using a private email address, like avery-239a-bca4@prod.writely.com |
![]() |
Craigslist advertisers are assigned anonymous email addresses for each post, like sale-1745112@craigslist.org |
The only thing you need to do is place your script on your web server and tell us the URL. Check out this simple PHP script.
<?php
// Save each attachment from the message to disk
foreach ($_FILES as $attachment)
{
move_uploaded_file($attachment["tmpname"],
"../files/" . $attachment["name"]);
}
// Send a reply back to the sender by email
// by simply producing some output
$numberOfFiles = sizeof($_FILES);
echo "Thank you, my friend. I have received your "
. $numberOfFiles . " files."
. "\r\n\r\n---Original message---\r\n"
. $_POST["body"];
?>
