You'll need to have a cgi version of PHP to use in cronjobs and you'll need to use http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-grep.php
Good luck =) -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Duncan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 12:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Parse an email message for content I am trying to display on a web page a daily message from a mailing list that I am on. What I want is to have a script run on my server each day at a certain time that reads the mail file that contains the daily email message, takes the Article Titles and makes them the link text to be used with the link that is provided and then have the article abstract listed below. Can anyone point me in the correct direction on how I can learn how to do this? Thank you very much, Jonathan Duncan The daily email message I get comes in the following format: *-*-*-* Start Email Message *-*-*-* EMAIL HEADERS Bulleted list of article titles -article 1 -article 2 ===== (That is 5 equal characters) Article 1 Title See http://some.server.com/path/to/article.html <a href="http://some.server.com/path/to/article.html";>Link</a> See http://additional.server.com/path/to/article.html <a href="http://additional.server.com/path/to/article.html";>Link</a> Article 1 abstract. This gives a brief excerpt of the article. ===== (That is 5 equal characters) Article 2 Title See http://some.server.com/path/to/article.html <a href="http://some.server.com/path/to/article.html";>Link</a> See http://additional.server.com/path/to/article.html <a href="http://additional.server.com/path/to/article.html";>Link</a> Article 2 abstract.
