Procmail should be able to do this for you?
But how are you actually dealing with the incoming mails? Are they being
sent to the php script as they arrive from an alias or procmail, or are
you attempting to parse the contents of the mail spool file for a
particular user?
If it's the former, all you need to do is parse each line until you find
the one beginning with Subject and do the necessary.
If the latter, you'll need to check the relevant RFCs to determine how
messages are separated in the spool, and how the body of the message is
separated from the headers - I'm fairly sure that's two newlines. RFC1822
from memory?
