Jones Hi Paul, It would be nice if you add two things: 1. Remove the invisible chars in the MacOSX address book vcards automatically (you can use str_replace() with chr() and ord() to do that). 2. Create a writer in complement to the parser. Other names for your class could be : Contact_vCard_Parser Contact_vCard_Writer or simply Contact_vCard if you implement both in the same class (recommended way) Or Address_vCard As we already have a Genealogy_Gedcom. Then, it might fit in the file formats category on pear website. I haven't reviewed your code yet. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
