Hey all,

I am trying to send an iCalendar invite to Outlook users from my website and I am running into problems.

The code works fine if I create a stand-alone page and then if I go there a popup box opens and it downloads the code but I cant get it show up once emailed.

This is the code that works when I have it on the site:
<?php
$Filename = "SWEvent.vcs";
header("Content-Type: text/x-vCalendar");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$Filename");

?>
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:19970714T170000Z
DTEND:19970715T035959Z
SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party
DESCRIPTION: Testing 123
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

I tried getting rid of the PHP and just sending it but it just shows up as code. Any advice?

Thanks

I don't get what you are trying to accomplish. You can't email either PHP or JavaScript. Am I missing something?

you can't also post header data when emailed. why don't you make up the html code and just send it as an email?

I know you cant send headers and php in email. That was just the code that I used when it worked on the internet. I tried just emailing the iCalendar code and it didnt show up. I am wondering how to send iCalendar code and have it read.

So you need it to be downloadable? If so, you can just post the code as a normal text file, with the extension .vcs, then in your .htaccess file, add this:

AddType  application/octet-stream .vcs

Or, in your php headers you could:

PHP Code:

header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); 


Personally, I find the .htaccess method easier.

****EDIT***
I think I'm missing what you need here. Sorry.

Ideally I would like to be able to email it from the server. But when I try and email it the iCalendar code isnt recognized correctly.

Theres barely any documentation on this crap.
