I would like to write a script that can receive e-mail and then do something depending on instructions in that e-mail, but I have no idea where to start with this. Is this possible with PHP?

There’s an old (but good) email on evolt about piping incoming emails to a php script.

If you don’t have terminal access, you could instead use the imap/pop functions in php to read a mailbox.
