ToonMariner Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi guys - an unusual one for me but does any know of any scripts available for importing contact list from hotmail, gmail etc etc. seen plenty to buy (which I don't mind doing) but need one with source code made available. Alternatively a tutorial detailing what is required to actually contact the servers via curl with the correct parameters.... Many many thanks for any help offered in advance.

I believe your looking for the imap extension. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79237-contacts-importer/#findComment-401078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 not so sure thorpey - most of these scripts contact the respective mail servers purely via curl and request the information. I may be wrong I have seen one hotmail script and imap is not used anywhere to retrive that users contact list.

trq Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah, I suppose. Imap is used more for reading mail (from a mailbox), and a contacts list has nothing really to do with the actual mailbox itself. Curl might be your best bet, should be plenty of tutorials around.
