Outlook Com access

[Robert Rescot]

I'm trying to develop a personal start page on my machine that would
have my outlook calendar on the page. I've seen Konfabulator widgets
that access the Outlook calender and a php class that I could not get
to work for mail at

Has anyone been able to do this with outlook 2003/winxp/apache/php?
Willing to provide an example?

If you're willing to use some VBscript on the page a quick way to show any
outlook folder would be to use the outlook view control - activeX solution.

Re: Outlook Com access

The Outlook View Control is great but it only works in IE... is there
another solution that is cross browser compatible

I'm feeling generous today... I couldn't get the filter to work in the
time available, so that's an exercise for the reader.


<?php

set_time_limit( 0);

// 2005-10-25 sa [googlespam@nast ysoft.com]
// no rights reserved, no refunds

define( 'olFolderCalend ar', 9 );
$objOLApp = new COM("Outlook.Ap plication") or die("Unable to
instantiate Outlook");
print "Outlook v" . $objOLApp->Version() . "<br><br>\n ";
$objNameSpace = $objOLApp->GetNamespace(' MAPI');
$objCalendarFol der = $objNameSpace->GetDefaultFold er(
olFolderCalenda r );
$objCalendarIte ms = $objCalendarFol der->Items();
$objCalendarIte ms->IncludeRecurre nces = 0;
$objCalendarIte ms->Sort( '[Start]' );

/* OT: SADLY, THIS FAILS TO FILTER ITEMS - ANYONE KNOW WHY? */
$objCalendarIte m = $objCalendarIte ms->Find( '[Start]>="01-Jul-2005
12:00 AM"' );

while( $objCalendarIte m )
{
$lngStartDate = $objCalendarIte m->Start();
// manually filter - could take a long time...
if( $lngStartDate >= mktime( 0, 0, 0, 6, 1, 2005 ) )
{
$strStartDate = date( 'd-M-Y', $lngStartDate );
$strStartTime = date( 'H:i', $lngStartDate );
$lngDuration = $objCalendarIte m->Duration() / 60;
switch( $lngDuration )
{
case 0: $strTimeDuratio n = $strStartTime . " (Reminder)";
break;
case 24: $strTimeDuratio n = "all day"; break;
default: $strTimeDuratio n = $strStartTime . " " . strval(
$lngDuration ) . " hrs"; break;
}
$strSubject = $objCalendarIte m->Subject();
print $strStartDate . " - " . $strTimeDuratio n . " - " .
$strSubject . "<br>\n";
}
$objCalendarIte m = $objCalendarIte ms->FindNext();
}

unset( $objCalendarIte m );
unset( $objCalendarIte ms );
unset( $objCalendarFol der );
unset( $objNameSpace );

unset( $objOLApp );

?>
