Introduction
Introduction –
Build (create) and fetch vCard 2.1 and 3.0 text blocks.
Description
Here are some quick instructions for the impatient. :-)
-
Download and un-compress Contact_Vcard_Parse from the PEAR archive.
-
Include
Contact_Vcard_Parse.phpin your PHP script. -
Instantiate a new Contact_Vcard_Parse object.
-
Use the fromFile() method to parse any file which may have one or more vCards in it; try the
sample.vcffile for a start. Contact_Vcard_Parse should work with both 2.1 and 3.0 vCard files. -
Use print_r() to view the resulting array of data from the parsed file.
-
Do what you want with the data, such as insert into a table.
Example code
<?php
// include the class file
require_once 'Contact_Vcard_Parse.php';
// instantiate a parser object
$parse = new Contact_Vcard_Parse();
// parse a vCard file and store the data
// in $cardinfo
$cardinfo = $parse->fromFile('sample.vcf');
// view the card info array
echo '<pre>';
print_r($cardinfo);
echo '</pre>';
?>
