Hello all,

I would like to be able to allow all users to upload their Outlook Express address books into a MySQL database on our site. The problem is that they're not technological at all, and so the process would need to be extremely simple (i.e. a couple of mouseclicks).

I know it's possible to export an address book from OE as CSV which could then be uploaded and put into the database. However, the question is, would it be possible to do this without the user going through the hassle, and without having to fire up OE? Maybe using a java application?

Best regards,
David Stone

    Hi

    As I see whether it's possible from PHP side, I really don't think that it'll work out, without the users converting their contacts to a .csv file.

    I have done the same functionality, but by some way there has to be a conversion done, manually and I can't judge any other way.

      Thanks very much for your reply. I was worried it might be the case that the user would have to export it.

      Best regards,
      David
