johan, unfortunately I'm not much of a whiz at cURL at all, which was why I had to find someone else's code to help me out with it. I believe the code from Tyler Hall (list item #3) has some comments in it to help with getting information from the calendar. I haven't tried any of it though. I unfortunately wouldn't know how to get it to work. As for getting XML data back, it's doubtful. There is no API, this is basically web-scraping the HTML to decipher what is available. Exchange 2007 supposedly has an API but I don't yet know if it's finalized, nor will I even have a chance to mess around with it until late 4th quarter this year when ours is scheduled to be installed. Since I'd imagine you're using Exchange 2003, I don't think you'll have access to any API or XML data return; at least not without a third party tool installed on the exchange server itself (of which I cannot recommend any particular product, I'm simply making an assumption that one might exist somewhere).
You can het XML from the server.
I have an perl script that does the job, but i can't het it to work unther PHP.
You run an dav search, but i am unable to make it work.
Any point will be great

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with Exchange. I do not have access to our server except via the Outlook Web Access page(s). I did not know about WebDAV. With our organization's security policies, I'd imagine our WebDAV is locked down, but I can't verify that at the moment. I did find, thanks to Google, some further code - but I don't think it can be run via PHP (unless PHP is installed on a Windows' server, but at that point, I'd have to ask why even use PHP?).

Hopefully that will help you. I'm sorry I can't really help any further.

Dear All,
I am going to make an iPhone application for email, calendar displaying and after little bit of study I found the it will be done by the OWA but I didn't get any API. then I found the above topic which is done by the PHP. I am very much familiar with PHP and cURL. Now my questions are :::::
1) Is there any configuration required into the OWA server to get access by this kind of script?
2) To develop the iPhone application I am using objective C and this process will be little bit lengthy( see. iphone-> our server where is the cURL script is written-> OWA Server)... Is there any other alternative way to do this?
3) Where I get the all the links for getting Inbox, sent Items, Draft, Calendar etc?
4) How to get all the information in XML format?
Please help me....... or you can email me to

Hello Subha,
Unfortunately you would be better off using an Objective-C based approach if your entire application is being built in Objective-C to begin with. Contacting two separate servers to interact with one external exchange server increases chances for failure. With that in mind, hopefully the following link will be of some use to you:

Also, if you do plan on going the route of scraping HTML using cURL, do keep in mind that each version of Outlook Web Access works differently. You would have to update your code for each version of Exchange.
You may also want to research ActiveSync technology by Microsoft. If you're able to get licensing support for it, it should theoretically make your life easier.
