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
