FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package mailreader
mailreader
Receive mail and attachments with PHP
This package can be used to...
- Parse, decode and read email from Postfix, and others still WIP.
- For reading messages (Filename extension: eml)
- Create webMail
- Store email information such a subject, body, attachments, and etc. into a database
Usage
Full documentation is a work in progress, see Phpunit tests folder for more example usage.
MailReader.php contains the class that works with the incoming email, and the database.
MailParser.php contains the class that works with any file that's in an email format.
mailPipe.php is a sample script using the MailReader class.
mailPipe.php expects to receive raw emails via STDIN.
You can run the script manually by using cat
Or type On Windows
You will likely want to copy mailPipe.php to your own script and adjust the parameters to suite your needs.
This library also allows you to easily parse an email given its content (headers + body).
Installation
Will pull composer forked/mail_mime-decode package in as dependency.
Setup
Configure your mail server to pipe emails to this script. See http://stuporglue.org/add-an-email-address-that-forwards-to-a-script/ for instructions.
Make this script executable, and edit the configuration options to suit your needs. Change permissions of the directories so that the user executing the script (probably the mail user) will have write permission to the file upload directory.
By default the script is configured to save pdf, zip, jpg, png and gif files. Edit the method array property $allowed_mime_types around line 47 to change this. Or call ->addMimeType() to add more.
Postfix configuration to manage email from a mail server
Next you need to forward emails to this script above. For that I'm using Postfix like a mail server, you need to configure /etc/postfix/master.cf
Add this line at the end of the file (specify myhook to send all emails to the script mailPipe.php)
Edit this line (register myhook)
