如何使用Mailgun解析电子邮件？

Question

by refering this article, I tried to parse the email, but i am failing to do it.

I have created free-account on mailgun, created domain, mailbox, etc. I sent one mail from my personal email ID to say, mgtest1@my_domain_name.mailgun.com

I have configured the account to forward all mails to "http://project_name/controller_name/action_name" (in case of zend) OR

"http://localhost/project_name/file_name.php" (for plain PHP)

It is said that I can access the mail using $_POST (for PHP), but I am getting blank array.

Where I am going wrong ?

I tried with both Zend and plain PHP. I am simply using print_r($_POST).

Answer 1

print_r() is used for printing to the screen. Since the web hook handler is posting to your script, the handler saw the posted data, but you didn't. ;)

You should store the data by serializing the array and storing it in a file.

<?PHP
$data = serialize($_POST);
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
?>

OR access the data directly:

<?PHP
$data = $_POST['recipient'];
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
?>

Hope that helps! Come chat with us, or send us a ticket, if you still have trouble.
