I need a basic web data scraper written in php for extracting some data from an email account. Please read other details below.
## Deliverables
I am an active online marketer and registering to lots of websites everyday. Most of the commercial websites are sending clickable verification emails to verify your email address. I need a basic php script to extract these verification urls from my mail account.
The script will work this way. It will only have one page! On this page there will be 4 fields for :
- Pop server address
- Pop server username
- Pop server password
- Pop server port
and a "get verification urls" button.
When i click the button, it will read all emails and extract two things from emails
- to which address email is sent (important!)
- and the verification link in that email
The script will dump these information directly to the screen like this
email1 | verification link1
email2 | verification link2
.....
But i want the output data very well formatted (with tables, css etc).
I will copy and paste this data to excel. The programmer needs to verify that the data can be copied and pasted from the output screen to excel.
Finally there may be more than one link in the verification emails. No need to check this. I will usually use the script for one type of verification emails and i will give you the template of the verification email to help you extracting the link.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
