PHP Send Outlook invitation and blockCalendar

[FooKelvin]

Hi, I know php can send email with mailer function. I'm not sure is there no fucntion to send out invitation to Outlook with time,venue, topic and etc? Set the status to free or busy.

Last time when I using vbscript is possible to do that.

Yes it is possible you have send the email containing vCalander meta data.

 

I found a few tutorials/discussions/code snippets by googling the term "php outlook send calendar invite"
