Yeap, I noticed that as soon as I ran the first (full) email through it. And of
course, there're some problems. The incoming email has two "sections" in it which
will contain the same variables. What I posted only contained a 'BILL TO:' section.
The full email also contains a 'SHIP TO:' section. But because the script creates
variables based on the fields in the email, it overwrites the first section:
SHIP TO:
Business Name:
Contact Name: PhotoCraft
Day Number: 303.442.6410
Evening Number:
Fax Number:
Address: 3550 Arapahoe Ave
Address: Suite 6
Address:
City: Boulder
State/Province: CO
Zip/Postal Code: 80303
Country: USA
BILL TO:
Business Name:
Contact Name: Ashley M. Kirchner
Day Number: 800 555-1212
Evening Number: 303 555-1212
Fax Number:
Address: 3550 Arapahoe Ave #6
Address:
Address:
City: Boulder
State/Province: CO
Zip/Postal Code: 80303
Country: USA
This is part of why I asked whether it was possible to use my own variable naming,
so I could end up with one of:
$ShipToContact $BillToContact
$ShipToDayPhone $BillToDayPhone
$ShipToEvePhone $BillToEvePhone
or:
$ShipTo['contact'] $BillTo['contact']
$ShipTo['DayPhone'] $BillTo['dayphone']
$ShipTo['EvePhone'] $BillTo['evephone']
And then there's still the order items themselves. Right now, the script is
cutting the lines because of the : matching. So, a line like this (wrapping alert):
ORDER NO. QTY UNIT DESCRIPTION
PRICE TOTAL
4x6 1 4"x6" Standard Print (full-frame from 35mm) Image:Uploaded Image 1
.75 $0.75
...will end up:
$key: 4x614x6StandardPrint(full-framefrom35mm)Image
$val: 'Uploaded Image 1 .75 $0.75'
ORDER HERE:
Item: 0
Itemnum -> 4x6
Quantity -> 1
Not quite what it should be. I think I'm going to limit where it should do the
$key -> $value matching, and figure something else out for the rest of the message.

Yeah, the original incoming email is a mess really. No tab delimited anything,
and some of the fields have extraneous spaces after each value, some just have a row
of spaces (if the value's blank), some 80 characters long.
