Images Shown In Outlook Express But Not In Outlook 2003
I'm writing a php code to send email in mime format. All seams ok if I read the email with outlook express, or Thunderbird, or any webmail, but if I open the email with Outlook 2003, I can't see the images, I just see a small box (I send 1 image) with inside the path of the image. The image is embedded in the message, it's not a link.

<?php
$header = "From: Sender <sen...@domain.org>";
$header .= "CC: Altro Ricevente <blabla...@domain.net>";
$header .= "X-Mailer: Our Php";

$boundary = "==String_Boundary_x" .md5(time()). "x";
$boundary2 = "==String_Boundary2_y" .md5(time()). "y";

$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/related;";
$header .= " type="multipart/alternative";";
$header .= " boundary="$boundary";";

$messaggio = "If you read this, your email client doesn't support MIME";

$message .= "--$boundary";
$messag .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;";
$message .= " boundary="$boundary2";";

$message .= "--$boundary2";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";
$message .= "Alternative message in plain text format.";

$message .= "--$boundary2";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";.....

Combination Of Outlook And Php - Create Stationery For MS Outlook Using PHP Engine
Some of my clients asked me to create "fancy emails" for them (aka html
formatted emails).

I know how to make a nice html document, but I had trouble creating a simple
way to provide the document to my clients so that they could use it to.

I know most of them use Outlook XP or Outlook 2003, so what I created was a
page that creates a Visual Basic script that, when saved to the desktop and
clicked (run), opens a message in outlook using the html provided.

Contacts Importer
does any know of any scripts available for importing contact list from hotmail, gmail etc etc.

seen plenty to buy (which I don't mind doing) but need one with source code made available.

Alternatively a tutorial detailing what is required to actually contact the servers via curl with the correct parameters..

Hotmail/gmail Contacts
I'm trying to find how I can get a list of hotmail/gmail contacts using PHP,
like a lot of sites use these days for 'tell a friend'.
Problem is there are no real examples anywhere that I can find..

I *do not* want a script that uses CURL to access a free website that lists
your contacts.. I don't want anything to do with third party websites, I
just want the raw code to access hotmail/gmail myself and get the list.

I thot this would use the webdav/httpmail method, but I heard that hotmail
now charge for this, and I very much doubt that all these sites pay just for
the privellege of accessing a contact list, so there must be an alternative.

Does anyone have any solutions ?

Manage Business Contacts
We are 3 persons contacting various potential clients/customers and also
potential advertisers for our website.

Each person work at home, and it becomes ever difficult to manage our
contacts. Also we don't see what the others do.

Does it exist something allowing to manage such contacts. Ideally, this
should be put on a webserver, allowing each of us to build a client's
database, and the contacts history (like the program called ACT! on PC
www.act.com , but it's too expensive for what we do).

Ideally, we should be able to:
- create a new client (company, address, list of contact name and their
respective role in the company, phone/fax/mobile...)
- manage any contact with some details: name, date/time, comment, reminder
creation (please call back on monday...)
- a reminder, allowing to remind us when to call again, linked to a
checklist (first phone contact, second phone contact, visit, etc)
- a check list for any customer type.
- a calendar/user, allowing to know where the commercial is. This should
also allow us to know if they meet other companies or don't work at all,
since they are at home, we can't see if they really work or not.

Obviously, any item should be filled by any user, and there should be a
possibility to know who did any item. (who contacted the user, who filled
the address...).

The idea is to be able to fill the address when it's time to (evening,
week-ends) by an user, and then when the commercial connect to the page (or
even by email with a link) he knows he must contact the client.

Pulling MSN Messenger Contacts Emails
I'm working on a site where I'd like to utilise the function of pulling visitors contact emails from their MSN Messenger/ICQ/AOL/Yahoo if they enter their username and password.

I've seen it work on a couple of websites and works quite well. Can anyone guide me in the right direction for existing scripting or even their own code that could assist.

Php, Outlook 2k3
I have a php script that grabs user information from a form and
sends me an email when an order has been placed. how do I make the
default 'reply-to' address the email address of the customer? I'm
hoping to click 'reply' within outlook 2003 and not have to type in
each user's email for every order.

PHP And Outlook
I have an application part of which sends an email with attachment. I
have implemented this in php, BUT now the customer wants it to appear in
his Outlook email application (so he can amend defaults etc.)
I cannot find a way to get outlook to accept the attachment using the
mailto:
Is there another way? Can it be done, or is it inhibited by Outlook?

Outlook And PHP
Does anyone know how to update Microsoft Outlook dynamically?

i.e. when their calendar is updated on a website, the next time they look at Outlook it will update with the new events...

If you don't know the complete solution or have any clues as to how to accomplish this, please let me know. Any and all information (hints) is desired as I am pretty stumped with this one.

Including Outlook
IN MS outlook we have a thing set up so people can sceaduale the use of rooms/equiment is there a way to access this information from an intranet page? or at least have something that would open the persons outlook up into that area of outlook. It's just everyone seems to find it to complicated to hit the clock button then find "#*$!x" in the menu. You can tell them over and over agaibn this is how you request for this piece of equipment but they just don't get it. Bad thing is they don't use it then come back an hour before they need it and expect it to be there and waiting for them regrdless of someone else needing it.

Email For Outlook
I have gathered a list of emails and concatenated them into a string, for the purpose of using them to send emails out. I don't want to use the mail(), because I just want MS Outlook to open and put the list of emails stored in a var in the CC box.

This way the user can put whatever information they need into the email and click send and it will send it. Is it possible to put it into the CC box or is it just better for the user to use the mailto code in HTML.

Getting Data From Outlook
retriveing data (appointments) from Outlook and to show it
on my php-webpage. I found a link on the net (look below), but I don't got
the right settings in registry on my pc, missing the "Mapi.session" line. Is
there some application I have to install to get this up and working? Or are
there other ways to get data from Outlook?

PHP To Microsoft Outlook
Is it possible to send meeting notifications to microsoft outlook through php? I guess it would be sort of an e-mail sent to an individual telling them they have been invited to attend an event and the event info is automatically added to thier outlook calender or something?

PHP COM - Problems With Automating Outlook
I have been reading through some examples on using PHP with Outlook. I have been trying to get this simple example working, but its starting to really puzzle me. PHP Code:

Voting In Outlook 2003
I am tring to get my web page on the click of a button to generate a
mail from a person to a manager of a department, with voting buttons,
so that when the manager approves the request the relevant information
gets passed to HR. Is this possible in PHP? i understand the use of
mail() and so a message could be drawn up, however th inclusion of
votin buttons is the tricky bit!

Reading Outlook Attachments
Does anyone know of a class which will read outlook email messages. I
need to be able to scan outlook for "non-read" e-mails with a specific
subject and then save the attachments and mark the e-mail as "read". I
tried working with the am outlook application COM object but could
not get it to work.

If you have another way to do what I want, without human intervention,
I'm open for suggestions. I't goes without saying I want to be able to
do it form or with PHP.

PHP Email Attachments & Outlook XP
I was curious to know if anyone was experienced any difficulty in receiving PHP generated emails with file attachments using Outllook XP as their mail client. I have used PHPMailer, as well as other classes to accomplish this functionality, and has worked just fine in all other clients, except my client just updated their software to XP... I thought perhaps the encoding could be slightly different, any thoughts?

Export Events To Outlook
Do anybody know how to export events to Outlook from a php script? I'm
making a list of events, and my idea is that when the user clicks on
the event it will be exported to his or hers Outlook-calendar. I don't
want to force the users to install any software (like a RSS-reader).

Using COM Objects Or Importing To Outlook
I've been asked to look at developing a web-based system for tracking forms. In itself, it is fairly simple. However, one item they want to look at is Outlook integration for tasks. We use an internal exchange server and I have read about being able to use COM objects to write tasks for Outlook from PHP.

However, I'm having difficulty with this part. The script I do have is timing out and documentation on using COM objects is fairly sparse. Should I be looking at something other than PHP? Code:

Mail(), Html & Outlook
I see that a while ago people had the same problems as me (http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/show...eadid=10240258), but I see no answers anywhere, so here goes:

I am sending E-Mail from a form on my website using the php mail(). The problem is that when I send it as html, outlook has problems. Here are the headers I'm using:

$headers = "From: $name <$email>";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email ";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html;";

When I do this, the E-Mail looks fine in squirrelmail (a webmail program www.squirrelmail.org), but in outlook...instead of getting a nicely formatted html message, I get a message that starts with "Content-type: text/html;" then continues on in plaintext, showing me all the html tags, etc. I tried switching some of the headers around, and if I switch the mime & content-type headers, I see html in BOTH E-Mail programs, but outlook starts the message off with "MIME-Version: 1.0" which I suppose is the lesser of 2 evils, but there is no reason that I should have to see that. Does anyone have a solution?

Php->HTML Email: Outlook Cache?
I'm sending out a newsletter via PHP that sends HTML code. Within that code I have a tracking image that reports if the email was opened. (fairly common reporting)

Anyway, if you open the HTML email once, it counts it as opened. If you open it twice, it does not count that. I've tried adding NO CACHE type options to the HTML email itself with no luck. Is it something maybe on the PHP side?

I'd think everytime outlook opened that email it would reload the tracking image, but maybe not. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround either client or server-side?

Scrip For Sending An EMail Via PHP And Outlook
our configuration is as following described:

- OS: Windows 2000
- Apache server 1.3
- Php 3.8
- MS outlook client 2000

_and_ no SMTP server available in the whole intranet.

We are looking for a php script for sending eMail with help of the
above named outlook client.

Export Contact Information To Outlook Using PHP
I have a database with contact information in it and a PHP app where people can view the contacts and need to make a 'export to Outlook' link. I.e. someone clicks that link next to an entry and, ideally, the information would automatically be imported by Outlook. Is this possible or do I need to have it export to CSV and then have people import it?

Send Mail From Outlook Web Access
I've got RH9 Linux with default PHP.

Is there a way to send email on Linux to an Exchange Server from PHP
and/or other tools when there is *NOT* SMTP access?

Has anyone figured out a way to use PHP to get inside an OWA (Microsoft
Outlook Web Access) website to send email that way?

The reason I ask is because my corporate office is going to do away
with our rogue SMTP server access and force everything through Exchange
Server. This makes it hard for our batch scripts on the Linux server to
relay to internal email accounts that a job has failed or other errors.

Mail() To Outlook, No Carriage Returns
I'm sending normal text email, but in Outlook all the carriage returns
are ignored. The text comes from MySQL database, and I've tried

str_replace("
", "
", $dr['email_template']);

I also tried sending header Content-type: text/plain but still no luck,
still the email comes through as one big line.

I'm sure this must be a common thing but I can't immediately find an
answer through Google.

Send Mail To Outlook From Http://localhost

Sending Mail From Php And Correct MS Outlook Receive
In my MS Outlook I use global address book to handling contacts.
When I send email from Outlook to myself and double click on sender I
get information about me from my global address book.

When I use php mail() function to sending messages and then double
click on sender I get specificity message email window only.

How do I have to prepare header at mail() function (for example: FROM:
?) that after send and double click on sender in Outlook I get
information about sender from Outlook global address book ?

SMTP Mail Problem (but Works OK In Outlook)
I'm finding when a mail is sent from a script, I get:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at
"smtp.ntlworld.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in
php.ini or use ini_set() in C:Documents and Settings

However, when using Outlook and setting the SMTP agent in that to
smtp.ntlworld.com, on the same PC, mail is sent fine (using Outlook)
without any problems.

Outlook Chopping Href Tags In Html Mail
I have been trying to send a multipart text and html message through the mail() funciton. It works beautifully with Hotmail. However, when it is received by the IceWarp web-based mail server or by Outlook, some of the HTML is hacked out. Specifically, on href tags, look like this when viewing the source: <a href=ttp://.... It also chops off the last character of the url and the quote before the end ">" on the tag. I can't figure out what is happening ....

Sending HTML Mail To Outlook Express With Mail()
I'm sending out an HTML mailer using the mail() function in PHP. I'm appending all of the headers to the message. This message displays correctly in Hotmail, Outlook 2000, and even Mac's OSX mail client. But, for some reason, Outlook Expess (on Win XP & OSX) displays the HTML code and doesn't render it.

If, however, the recipient copies the HTML code and composes a new HTML message in Outlook Express, it gets sent correctly.

This particular user is also getting other HTML mailers that display correctly, so I know that the client is capable of accepting HTML mail.

I'm led to believe that PHP's mail() headers are not being interpreted correctly. In fact, they appear as the first 3 lines in the body of the message when viewed in Outlook Express. OK, here are some samples to tie this all together: First, the mail() code I'm using: PHP Code:

MS Outlook Calender To Web Calender
