libertyct Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Is it possible to send meeting notifications to microsoft outlook through php? I guess it would be sort of an e-mail sent to an individual telling them they have been invited to attend an event and the event info is automatically added to thier outlook calender or something? thnx Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63045-php-to-microsoft-outlook/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 PHP runs on the server, outlook express runs on the client. PHP can be used to send an email, and if its available could even format it to do what you wish.... this isn't however a PHP question but that of Outlook Express.

Well i was thinking maybe theres a header i could put in the php email script that would automatically put the event details in the outlook calender?

kyleldi Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The only thing you could do in PHP would be to send an email to that person, they would have to add it to their calendar by hand. Keep in mind this is using just PHP. I'm sure you could create a program or script to add it (non-php), though.

Psycho Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 It is very possible. You just need to use PHP to create a vcalendar file that the user could open. No different than having a link that dynamically creates and opens a report. Here is a page that should point you int he right direction on the format needed for a vcalendar file: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,152882.0.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63045-php-to-microsoft-outlook/#findComment-314071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
