CI Moblog?

I've been suffering the whole summer trying to get this piece of code to work.

I had searched Google about a million times for a solution, and found nothing that fully worked. I am able to download attachments from normal emails correctly... but when it comes to MMS messages, it always downloads as a 'xxx.alternative' file.

Now, I went back to the imap_pop class to try and use it... it displayed nothing. I added in my code "echo $msg_count".

I set $msg_count to fetch the number of emails in the inbox, it's set to 1 but the first time I viewed it with that piece of code it displayed an image that was with the MMS message. It wasn't the message I sent, but it's from the same email which is a HUGE step in the right direction!

Can someone please help me finish this off? I'll send you a beer if you can!

Code:

<?php

class Email extends Controller
{

  function Email()
  {
    parent::Controller();

  }
  
  function index()
  {    
    $this->load->library('imap_pop');
// settings for gmail, you must have
// SSL support compiled into PHP
// and turn on POP in gmail
$config['server']='pop.gmail.com:995';
$config['login']='[email protected]';
$config['pass']='xxx';
$config['service_flags'] = '/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert';
$config['mailbox']='INBOX';
$msg_count = $this->imap_pop->connect_and_count($config);
$em = $this->imap_pop->grab_email_as_array(1);
$this->imap_pop->close();
print_r($em);
echo $msg_count;
  }

}

This is what shows up when I load the page with that code.

Note: I replaced my phone number with "x". So wherever you see "x" that's what it is.

Does anyone see where the image that I sent is possibly?

Problem: You are not sending a true MMS message. When you receive a message like the above it means the cell phone provider has saved the image to their servers and is just sending you a link so you can view it. It never actually sends you the image you think you are sending.

I could be very wrong, but I have investigated this before. Lookup wither your phone can actually send MMS messages and wither your cell plan can send MMS.

Well if you have a cell phone plan where it doesn't cost you anything extra, and have a cell phone that sends MMS... can you help me to test this?

[eluser]mglinski[/eluser]
I wish i could help but I have a smartphone on Sprint in the USA, and they do not allow MMS from smartphones for some weird reason. Can someone else help him out?

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
No one can help? Do you know how I can send an MMS using an alternative gateway than what is provided by my phone provider?

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
I got it to work sorta with that store and save function... but it only works with certain phones.

Is there a way to make it with every phone!?
