sawade Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey, Is it possible to download the scheduling out of an Outlook Calendar and with the info taken from the calendar execute php scripts? IE: Person 1 schedules an appointment on 11/5/2009 at 5:00pm PHP script 1 downloads this appointment and executes php script 2 to send email to Person 1 regarding the scheduled appointment. Or something like that anyway. Is PHP good or maybe javascript? Any ideas?

MadTechie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 PHP is server side so your need Outlook on the server connection to the peoples calendar's and then you could use a COM connection, Javascript is client side but can't just connect to the users applications due to security, it really depends on what access levels you have.

sawade Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Basically like networking? Connect the the client outlook programs into the server, download the calendars into the database. And execute php scripts from the database. Am I heading in the direction?

MadTechie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 if you've downloaded the details into a database that PHP can access then, it should be a simple cron/scheduled task of checking the database for upcoming tasks and firing off an email.
