Add to calendar script

I'm not quite sure if this is the right spot to post this, but I'll try anyhow.
We've got a calendar setup on a client's site that is controlled via a CMS with a MySQL database. We use PHP for the coding.
The client came across this "Add to calendar" function on another site and has asked us to add it to their calendar page. What this function does it simply adds the event to the users Outlook or similar mail program via a click of a link.
For example, take a look at this URL:
http://www.gustavus.edu/news/calenda...d=9294&which=e
Next to the times of the event you will see an icon that when clicked, sends the event details to your mail program's calendar.
This same type of functionality is being used on eBay's auction pages.

Anyone know how to do this?
