Re: Run PHP script to do stuff to an email in the inbox

Thanks for the reply. I've installed the spam_buttons plugin and configured it to use a custom function. Here is my simple test function:

function hello_world($message_ids, $passed_ent_id) {
echo 'Hello World!';
touch('/tmp/mrchicken');
return '';
}

In this case I know the function executes as the file is created (although I'm not sure where the output from the echo has gone as it doesn't appear in the source of the page that is returned).

What's not clear to me is how to use this custom function to launch a window with a form the user can interact with (or redirect to a page with a form). How can I achieve this kind of behaviour with the plugin?

Using the Spam Buttons plugin, you merely need to use your script as
the "report by custom function" backend. So you don't need to build a
plugin - just configure Spam Buttons to use your script.

Cheers,
