Running PHP from a different server.

[derekmartin1@gmail.com]

Hi All,

Hopefully my question can be easily resolved. I need to design an
autoresponder script in PHP for a organization that I am leading. My
issue is that the server where my page must reside on uses Lotus and I
am completely unfamiliar with that system. Is it possible for me to
execute a PHP script from another server? I could use server access
that I have on a PHP-friendly server to run this script if that is the
case.

Regards,

Derek

Unless the remote server runs php, you're pretty much SOL. Find another
server.

No - all you need to is pass some parameters to a PHP script (probably by
invoking a web page with some GET parameters). I'm not that familiar with
Notes but its certainly possible with most other systems out of the box
without add-ons (even IIS). Since your problem is really how to get Notes
to do this you might want to ask on a more apposite forum.

Well the server that I could use does have PHP.

If I remember correctly, Lotus Domino (this is the "Lotus" you are
talking about, right?) allows POP and IMAP access. So what you need
to do is to write a script that will access the Domino server via
POP or IMAP, read any incoming mail and respond to it one message
at a time.
