RE: [PHP] Communicate with Outlook

If you have an Outlook client running on the same machine as PHP, you should be able to use COM calls to access the data. Here's MS's Outlook Object Model site for "Outlook Item Objects" including MeetingItem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/off2000 /html/olmscOutlookItemObjects.asp I've done this in VBA and I've access MapPoint via PHP through a COM call, but havn't done Outlook via PHP yet. But that's probably how I'd do it if I could get it to work right and had to use PHP for it. It's probably 'cleaner' but maybe more difficult to access the server directly and/or parse a .PST file (which isn't going to be available if you have everything on the server side.. Unless you have "Work Offline" mode enabled). -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Shaun [mailto:shaunthornburgh@hotmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 11:17 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Communicate with Outlook > > > Hi, > > Is it possible for a PHP application to communicate with an Outlook > calendar?
