New PHP Hacking

Of course I had to play with my new v300 from t_Mobile. I had to play with the camera. They are having bugs – sending messages fails quite often. But I have done this – I have a mailbox that gets the messages – then I have a PHP that uses pop to load the messages, pull the JPGs out and post them to my dr-chuck.com site. Tres cool.
Check out www.dr-chuck.com/images – If you view source, you will see if it retrieved any images whie you waited – it retrieves up to 10 images each time someone goes to the site.
Later I will make this work so that as part of any BLOG post it will suck down all the messages.
But too bad that the messages seem so unreliable. Hopefully this is only a bug the TMobile will fix. And I cannot figure out where “My Album” is in the world of T-Mobile – from its name and how it works, I would guess that it is supposed to be a site that I can access in t-mobile space – but I cannot figure it out at all.
Some time I will clean up the code and post it. I learned PHP tonight :) Quite a fun little language – reminds me of a kindler, gentler time when C was the language of choice.
Update: The My Album is something that is part of My-Tmobile – if it ever works – it will be cool – but for now it is a bit bucket.
