jonsjava Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Unfortunately, I'm not sure if anybody has come up with a method of doing what you are talking about. One good method is to have outlook export your contacts to a csv file, then import the csv file. That would be much easier.

premiso Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 .pst is an outlook file and is probably compiled to not be viewed in plain text. You would need a converter of some sort installed on the system to convert it to plain text. As far as is this "do-able" in PHP, yes, if you have access to exec functions and have a 3rd party app installed on the machine that allows you to use command line to convert the file.
