Introduction

Description

Here are some quick instructions for the impatient. :-)

• Download and un-compress Contact_Vcard_Parse from the PEAR archive.

• Include Contact_Vcard_Parse.php in 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.vcf file 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.

<?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>';

?>
