Hiya, Any help or advice would be great. At the moment I sync my mobile with my computer (Microsoft Outlook), with all my tasks and calendar entries. I have made a PHP website with my own coded calendar system. The entries in the calendar are stored in a MySQL database. At the moment every day I go to my website and updated the calendar, so the information on my website is the same as in Outlook. This takes time so I would like to be able to automate this! What I would like to be able to do is automatically say once a day is send all my calendar entries to my website. Has anyone done anything like this? What I was thinking of was: On my localhost having PHP link to Outlook and get the next weeks Sending them as POST data from my computer to my website, this is received by a PHP script on my website The PHP script then adds the new entries to the database (the database will automatically ignore duplicates) Guess this will work but I haven't tried anything like this, especially the PHP talking to Outlook. Can a PHP script send POST data to another one simply? Am I in the right direction? Is there anything I should know or think about? Is there a good example already made? Don't mind making this, or even trying parts of it, if I know this will work! Thanks! Steve
