#13048 [Com]: libical / iCalendar support

ID: 13048 Comment by: glamm at a-s-i dot com Reported By: liamr at umich dot edu Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: solaris 2.6 PHP Version: 4.0.6 Assigned To: andrey New Comment: Just an update - I don't plan to make the ical extension I've listed anything more than a beta/patch to PHP 4. Instead, the ical extension will be targeted to PHP 5 using the improvements in the Zend engine (__construct()/__destruct(), __toString(), static methods, class constants, etc.). The library that the ical extension is based on fits the improvements in ZE2 better than the engine in PHP 4. I expect it will be a few months before it's complete, however.

Personally, I would prefer that we had a coordinated effort on this rather than developing two incompatible versions of the libical bindings; feel free to contact me directly at the email address shown above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-12 18:05:25] recht at braindump dot dk The company hosting my site went down, so my extension can be found at http://www.itcampus.dk/studenternet/ical-0.2.tar.gz if anybody is interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-29 21:54:23] glamm at a-s-i dot com Is anyone currently working on this? I have an implementation that is about 25% complete at the moment based on PHP 4.3.2 and libical 0.23. The page at braindump.dk appears to have been taken offline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-31 11:00:54] andrey@php.net assigning to myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
