Hi all,

I am a newbie to PHP + MySQL.
Now I am on a project in which I have to import Outlook contacts(PST file) to MySQL database and must provide a web interface for the same similar to Outlook Contact interface. By now I had completed the project except the importing of profile images and attached images.

If anyone of you have any idea,regarding how to extract the profile images and attached images from Outlook contacts PST file to MySQL/access/excel or any thing else, please share your idea

Thanx in advance

Please don't crosspost/spam. So you have the functionality down to open the pst and extract information from it with the exception of getting the contact image from the pst?

Andy,

We can import PST file to outlook contacts, then from there, export it to access or excel or some compatible format with MySQL and after that import that compatible one to MySQL.

But the problem is we will not get the image,during this procedure
