Generating a .vcs format file in PHP

PHP
1

Hi guys!

Does anyone have any references for generating .vcs format file data in PHP, or perhaps a class file?

From a quick search, PHPBuilder has a good beginner article on it. http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/chow20021007.php3?print_mode=1

No luck on finding a class file for it but I’m sure that’s likely because of iCal’s recent dominance.

Ryan, thanks!

So you reckon iCal is the way to go?

I’m assuming this isn’t the Mac iCal? This is my first foray into event data, so I’m in learning phase…

iCalendar is the standard while iCal is the Apple app. iCalendar is supported by many applications. Take a look at this Wikipedia article for supporting applications (which includes Microsoft Outlook); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support

Ryan, thanks again.

Now that I know where I need to be looking, I know what I need to do when the project comes around.

I installed an open-source php app WebCalendar which includes code to export calendar events as iCalendar or vCalendar (or palm or apple) formats. Maybe you could review the code that was used to get some help what you’re coding.
