Thank you.

The first part of the raw email contains the headers. A header contains information about the email. The header has a name, before the colon, and a value: Header-Name: Value. Important headers are the Subject header, containing the subject of the email, the From header, containing the origin of the email, and the To header, which tells us something about the recipient. The other headers are of minor importance.

An empty line marks the end of the header part. After the first empty line, follows the body of the email.

<?php
$email = file_get_contents("php://stdin");
$subPos = strpos($email,"Subject");
$start = strpos($email,":",$subPos)+1;
$end = strpos($email,"\n",$start);
$subject = substr($email,$start, $end-$start);

$body = stristr($email, "\n\n");


//TEST IT
mail("yourMailId@example.com",$subject,$body);

?>
