Hi, I'm new to the community, my skills in terms of web development is I only learn things I need to know and today I'm looking for a lesson in cron jobs. My goal is this. To send a picture from my camera phone using e-mail to a special e-mail account I've set up on my site and to use a cron job to extract the .jpg image and put it into the root level of my webspace (and if possible to rename the file) I've got the scheduling part figured out in that my webpanel has a special cron job set up and all I need now is the magic code that will check my e-mail, extract the file and place it in the directory. I'm pretty sure that's what I need, but I can be easily persuaded otherwise. Other info you might need...my e-mail is POP? the mail server is mail.loudestnoise.com? the e-mail address I want to use is c@loudestnoise.com. Please web dev masters. show me the light. eh i guess I need to use a language such as php or perl to accomplish this. also something I know little about.
