Php and Outlook Synchonization

Post by thomas777neo »

Hi All

I have found a couple of php scripts to connect to Outlook via COM objects.

I have manage to connect to my outlook on the server (my machine), is it possible for my server to connect to a client machine, and retrieve the outlook detail via COM objects over the network. The examples I have are not sufficient enough to do things like that. I'm not even sure if it is possible to use COM objects to do that.

Is there a proper php and outlook class out there? I can’t seem to find anything.

A possible solution that I thought of is to install an app on the client machine to connect to their outlook, extract the data into xml, post it to the server and update the db from there.

But that is only one way synchronization.

I hope that there is a simple way of resolving this issue.

Thanks
