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.

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";.....

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.

Invoking Outlook
I have a PHP application that lists available bank statements, and allows the person at the computer to click and view the pdf statements. Currently, the product that I am looking to replace has a feature that allows people to email the pdfs using the rep's Outlook account. (ie. it brings up their New Mail Message form, attaching the pdf, and allows the rep to enter in a message and email address of person sending to) This is great for us, since Outlook keeps track of what is sent in the sent folder, and allows us to fine tune the email. I have used PHP Mailer, but not sure how to simply invoke Outlook New Message and attach the pdf.

Add Event To Outlook

Any ideas what format or how we'd go about creating the necessary PHP code to call the database, gather the event details, put them into the necessary format to work with Outlook and export the data to a file format that Outlook would automatically open?

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?

How To Use COM Objects To Program Outlook?
I'm working on an intranet web app that needs to generate and save a Word .DOC (easy enough, done), and then have the user be able to click and open a new message, using Outlook, with that file attached. After much Googling, I've found that you just can't use mailto: to assign an attachment ( just to: and subject: ). But I did see that you can use COM objects to control Outlook. I've got the very basics of connecting: $objOLApp = new COM("Outlook.Application") or die("Unable to instantiate Outlook"); print "Outlook v" . $objOLApp->Version(); The above code prints the correct version... However, I can't seem to create a new mail message with attachment, using PHP. There are a few resources covering the VBA model, and native Outlook code. I've grokked the basics of VBA macros, but can't seem to get the right translations for VBA -> COM.

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.
