RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP

Hi, perhaps someone might be able to look at this code - it works when I
run it from the command line, but not when viewed through a web page. I
am running IIS 6 on Windows 2003 server.
The most likely problem is either:
Permisssions -- God only knows what the W2K3 user/permissions model is.
They changed it every version, and nobody understands it in the first
place. But whatever it is, your IIS runs_as a specific user, probably,
which PHP inherits, and that user just doesn't have permission to do what
you do on the command line.
Paths -- When you are on a command line, be it MS-DOS or CygWin or
whatever, you have specific $PATH (and/or $path) environment variables
set. Your PHP user almost-for-sure has different $PATH settings. Use
full pathnames for EVERYTHING. Binaries, data files, everything.
Far less likely, but possible, if you've checked the above:
Are the PHP and MySQL versions the same in both your command line and
web-server installations?
Maybe find one of the 10 guys who actually understands W2K3
user/permissions system first. That's not me. :-^
Oh, and finally...
You may want to consider just abandoning this Outlook crap and using
http://php.net/imap to manipulate the emails. Won't help you with the
calendar stuff, though, I don't think, unless you can figure out that it's
all done with custom X-headers or something.

RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP
Sorry, wasn't able to test this when I got home. But to clearify, when you use COM, it's loading Outlook (as you've seen) and then talking directly to it. So you don't need an exchange server to make it work. Try tracing through the code and see where it's failing. And nothing's showing up when you do View source (I know you said it's continuously running but curious what happens if you stop the page load and see what's been output)? Have you tried running the script via command line? I'd be curious to see how far the script gets for you before it bombs out. It might be trying to tell Outlook to do something and just hanging (hence the perpetual loading in your browser) which is why I'm wondering how far it gets and what happens if you run it via command-line. More info would definitely be appreciated. -TG = = = Original message = = = Still no luck I am afraid. Same thing happens - it kicks off an instance of Outlook.exe on the server, but the page never loads, it just stays blank with a never-ending progress bar. I thought it could be security related but have shared out my Calendar with default having reviewer access. I am using an Exchange server but don't want to follow the route of sharing Calendars and accessing them in Outlook. Is the problem with the script that it has to access an Exchange server to read the Calendar, even while Outlook is installed on the server and configured with the same profile?

RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP
To be honest I am not sure where the code is failing - it is starting Outlook.exe on the server so I assume it is able to instantiate the COM application (I think that is what it is called!). If I stop the page load and do a 'view source' all I see is html/html and nothing else. The Outlook.exe process also remains running on the server and has to be killed with Task Manager. However, when run from the command line the script WORKS!!! What can that mean? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:33 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Cc: Baiocchi, Justin (CSIRO IT, Armidale) Subject: RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP Sorry, wasn't able to test this when I got home.

Hello all,
I am trying to publish an Outlook Calendar on a web page using PHP and
COM. I have managed to track down on the net some examples of how it
could be done. The most promising is the code below. However, all that
happens is that outlook.exe is started on the server, but nothing is
displayed on the web page and it just times-out.
I am running PHP 4.0.18 on Windows 2003 server and I have Outlook 2002
installed on the server.
Does anybody know why it doesn't work?
Thanks
Justin

Still no luck I am afraid. Same thing happens - it kicks off an instance
of Outlook.exe on the server, but the page never loads, it just stays
blank with a never-ending progress bar.
I thought it could be security related but have shared out my Calendar
with default having reviewer access.
I am using an Exchange server but don't want to follow the route of
sharing Calendars and accessing them in Outlook.
Is the problem with the script that it has to access an Exchange server
to read the Calendar, even while Outlook is installed on the server and
configured with the same profile?
Thanks
Justin

Subject: Re: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP
That looks like some of my code.. or a derivative of my code. For some
reason, my PC at work here is having issues with PHP instantiating with
COM so I can't test this, but the code you posted is conspicuously
missing all the braces { }. I'm guessing that's not your issue
though... or else you'd be getting some kind of error maybe.
Anyway, here's a re-braced version of the code. It should produce
something when run through a web browser, but you might View Source and
see what shows up there.
This does require Outlook to be installed on the PC that PHP is running
on, as that's how COM works. I never messed around with remote COM
calls, but I'm sure there's some way to do that.
If someone wants to try this code and see if there are other issues
besides the missing braces. I don't see anything obviously wrong with
it (besides maybe some sloppy programming on my part :). I'll see about
checking it when I get home tonight if I have time.

did it when

$targetfoldername = Calendar;
$objNamespace = $comobjOutlook-GetNameSpace(MAPI);

Hello all,
I am trying to publish an Outlook Calendar on a web page using PHP and
COM. I have managed to track down on the net some examples of how it
could be done. The most promising is the code below. However, all that
happens is that outlook.exe is started on the server, but nothing is
displayed on the web page and it just times-out.
I am running PHP 4.0.18 on Windows 2003 server and I have Outlook 2002
installed on the server.
Does anybody know why it doesn't work?
Thanks
Justin
