Using MAPI in PHP

vzent · May 17, 2007

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use MAPI in PHP.

I have also downloaded and registered the CDO.DLL from Microsoft website. Instead of using "$oFldr = $oNs->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox);", i have changed it to "$oFldr = $oNs->GetDefaultFolder(6);" because "olFolderInbox" is not recognized outside of Outlook, 6 is the actual value of olFolderInbox.

However, when i run the script, OUTLOOK.EXE is running in the background, after that i have got the following errors:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source: Microsoft Office Outlook Description: Cannot complete the operation. You are not connected.'

And my OUTLOOK.exe automatically disappeared in background (from Task Manager).

Do you guys have the same problem before ? Where could it gone wrong ?

Here is the code:

<?PHP

global $UnreadMessagesInFolder;

class COutLook{

//function for retreiving messages from the selected folder (Inbox or Outbox)

function getMessages($folder){

//Setup the folder table,.there is 4 elements:

//message number,message subject ,message type and date received

echo"<body text=darkblue>

$folder

Subject</td><TD>

Type</TD><TD> Date</TD></TR>";

//creating the COM instance for Outlook.application and MAPI session(access the outlook folders object)

$oOutlook = new COM("Outlook.Application");

$session= new COM("MAPI.Session");

//Log into the session like default user

$session->Logon();

//key in username and password here

//selecting working folder Inbox ot Outbox/

$inb=$session->$folder;

//get the total messages in Folder

$messages=$inb->Messages->Count();

//get the elements of the message object

for($i=1;$i<($messages+1);$i++){

$item=$inb->Messages->item($i);

//date string

$timeres=$item->TimeReceived();

$date_vb=getdate($timeres);

//date elements

$year=$date_vb['year'];

$month=$date_vb['mon'];

$day=$date_vb['mday'];

//entering the folder elements

echo "<tr bgcolor=#F0F0F0><td>$i</td><td>

<a href=view.php?id=$i&folder=$folder target=bottomFrame>$item->Subject</td><td>$item->Type</td><td>$year/$month/$day</td><tr>";

}

echo"</table>";

}

//view mesage from selected folder (Inbox or Outbox)

function ViewMessageFromFolder($id,$folder){

//create new instance of the COM Objects

$oOutlook = new COM("Outlook.Application");

$session= new COM("MAPI.Session");

//Log into the current working session

$session->Logon();

//get default folder

$inb=$session->$folder;

if($id==""){

echo "Message Viewer <center>No Messages Selected</center>";

}

else{

$idint=(int)$id;

//get the messages in the selested folder

$items=$inb->Messages->item($idint);

//make message status read= true

$items->Unread="false";

//Update the message status into Outlook's Inbox

$items->Update(true);

//display the message

echo"Message Viewer";

echo"<table width=100%><tr><td>$i</td><td>

$items->Subject</td><td>$items->Type</td><td></td><tr>

<tr><td colspan=4><pre>$items->Text</pre></td></tr>";

}

function getUnreadinInbox(){

//get unread messages from the Inbox Folder

$oOutlook = new COM("Outlook.Application");

$oNs = $oOutlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");

//$oFldr = $oNs->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox);

$oFldr = $oNs->GetDefaultFolder(6);

//You have referenced 2 Outlook variables by their names, olFolderInbox and olFolderOutbox. These names are// not recognised outside of Outlook, so you must use their values instead. olFolderInbox = 6 and //olFolderOutbox = 4

$UnreadMessagesInFolder = $oFldr->UnReadItemCount;

return $UnreadMessagesInFolder;

}

function getUnreadinOutbox(){

//get unread messages from the Outbox Folder

$oOutlook = new COM("Outlook.Application");

$oNs = $oOutlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");

$oFldr = $oNs->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox);

//$oFldr = $oNs->GetDefaultFolder(4);

$UnreadMessagesInFolder = $oFldr->UnReadItemCount;

return $UnreadMessagesInFolder;

}

function staticFolders(){

// List of the avaailable folders (static !!!)

$unread=$this->getUnreadinInbox();

$out_unr=$this->getUnreadinOutbox();

echo"Available folders in this version are:

<a href=comunread.php?folder=Inbox>Inbox($unread)</a>

and <a href=comunread.php?folder=Outbox>Outbox($out_unr)</a>";

}

//end of classs

}

?>
