receiving email with php

[Linera]

Is there any way for me to receive email using a php script then have it save the email into a mysql database?

For a way to access the POP server see

http://wiki.cc/php/POP3

This uses a package from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_POP3

But I think you will have to do plenty of coding and also have to check if you are allowed to install external packages on your webhost.

Have a read of this [CLICK] article. It should help you with the actual sending of the email.

The basic PHP code for it is:

mail ( "me@mysite.com", "Contact Us Form", "This is an email from your site", "From: you@yoursite.com" );

You should do a phpinfo() on your host to see if the pop3 package has been installed, if it has been installed you can follow the instructions on the wiki site, alternativly if c-client library has installed you can use the imap functions detailed here
