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.

Mailgun cannot POST messages to localhost. You need to migrate your project to an online server. Right now, the route you have provided is of your localhost server, there is no way for mailgun to access that.
