Phone to web MMS

[Slacker]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place ;)

I'm looking for a way to get pictures from an email enabled mobile phone onto a webpage dynamically. Rather than sending through an SMS or MMS gateway I'm looking to do it the easier way via email like on www.mobog.com

But I'm having trouble finding a way to do this. I'm not looking for anything fancy or essentially difficult just be able to reference a location that has the picture.

So how to do this:

- Take pic on phone

- Send pic via email from phone

************************** - this is the bit I can't work out

- Webpage displays recieved pic

Any ideas or pointers would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks

Is your pop3 server running on the same machine as the web server? You are probably going to need to take the pic from the pop3 server and place it inside of a db or particular folder for the server side script to display it. You could write a server application to check the pop3 and move the pic. I can't really think of another way to do it.

Thanks for the reply, now I have an idea of what to do I now need to find the right resources.

My mail and web is all hosted so I'm not sure if they are on the same server. Would it make much of a difference if they were?

Well if they are not it is going to add furhter complications. Are you able to get a .exe file onto your account and have it run on the server? If you ran your own server you could... but a host probably would not allow it.

Give this a shot I've seen it working for other people...

http://www.mylesgrant.com/braindump/older/2004/04/26/php_nokia_image_upload_server_03_release.html neat idea, but it looks like it only works for nokea. At first glance it looks like that is just a WML page that has an input type=file based upload. But not every phone will let you enter something into that I guess... I dunno. I wish phones would comply to some sort of standard, every phone company / maker has a bunch of differences... but if the browsers can't even comply will phones ever comply?
