Thats great work...
congrats to evilguru... nice idea by BuffaloHELP. Its so bad that I dont know php, but let me see if I can do something similar with jsp/servlets. I might give it a try next month, a lil busy at the job currently. nyways, keep up the good work... Cheers. It has been tested on PHP 4.3.11 (red hat) and PHP 5.0.4 (win, IIS). To use it all you need to do is edit Gmail.php replacing <user> and <pass> with your Gmail user name and password for the storage account you will be using (there is NO way for the user to ever see your Gmail user name or password as it is all server side). The system itself is very simple, it searches your Gmail account for a conversation in which the subject is the same as a $_GET['q'] argument (mails which have not been read yet are returned as <b><subject></b>, so I strip the <b> tags first). I use an edited version of the open source libgmailer 0.7a (http://gmail-lite.sourceforge.net/index2.html#gmailer), with the changes being to how attachments are handled, libgmailer by default overides the CURL output settings, getting it to write to a file so I have changed this back to the CURL default (browser) and commented out some session stuff. There are still some changes to made (eg page support needs to be a bit better). Hope you all like it 
thanks for sharing your work with us, evilguru!
all gmail users wanting to use the gmail system for hosting ought to be informed of this, so i'll do what i can to spread the word.  do you have a development site for this? hope you can get one up. better to have one to track updates and comments.  would it be alright if we set up a mirror of this if ever? PM me. QUOTE(evilguru @ Jun 19 2005, 08:48 PM) Hello, you can find the source code for the program here: http://www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail/gmail.zip

Wow! That's a useful tip. The only thing is I doubt I'll ever have the time to actually do this task...not to mention I'm still at the beginning stages of learning php.
Quite interesting. Cool challenge. But I think this would not work. Why I say so? This is because if this were possible, Google would go burst. I'm sure Google hires experts to help prevent this from happening. Furthermore, the storage space is most likely share resource, which means the space might not be there.
Despite saying this, I would stick to this thread and see how it goes. I might be proven wrong. -Shackman
I know that evilguru is working on zip attachment files. I tried mpg file and it showed up as decoded text strings (no streaming or downloading mpg file). Perhaps it's in the libgmailer somewhere to tell how to handle such files?
The problem itself is not with libgmailer, but with how the browser handles appliction/xxxx streams, as these can not be 'shown' in the browser so it takes to download them. With a zip file it will download it under the name gmail.php and if you have any text-editors associtated with .php files it will try to open it in them (as it thinks it is downloading a .php file due to the extension .php). I believe there are ways to get past this problem and am looking into them. The same is true of mpg files.
I have just added support for different users, but it is still in very early stages. If you would like to use it go to: http://www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail/account.php and 'create' an account (in which the information is added to a MySql database), then to view it you can do http://www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail2.php?id=<your handle>&q=<subject of email> where <your handle> is the handle of the account you created and <subject of email> is the subject of the conversation in which to read the first attachment from. Still got a fair bit of work to do on it however.
Well, if they can make a Gmail filesystem I dont see why this cant be done.
Hello everybody
I have now added zip support to the system. The solution was quite simple, if the type of the attachment is application/zip then send the file out as:an octet-stream and explicitly specify the filename. The bad news is that for every type of file which the browser can not handle I need to set up to use an octet stream. Might be faster to only not do it for certian file types, we will see. The code for it is: CODE if ($conv->conv[$id]["attachment"][0]["type"] == "application/zip") { header('Content-type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $conv->conv[$id]["attachment"][0]["filename"] . '"'); } else { header('Content-type: ' . $conv->conv[$id]["attachment"][0]["type"]); } Works on firefox, ie and opera (only ones I have). You can integrate it yourself, or wait for the new version which will have full datatbase user support as well as bandwidth limits (daily limits) which will allow people like me to provide a 'public' version of the service. You can see it here: http://www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail/gmail2.php?id=test&q=zip FYI, gmail2.php is the user accounts version, which uses a database and it just happens that my chosen 'handle' for my project.website@gmail.com account is 'test'.
