For what it's worth, I abandoned trying to do this at my shop, it appears
that our exchange support group had no interest in getting me the right
release of CDO (Collaborative Data Objects) and the necessary permissions to
access these items. I think I crossed a territorial boundary or sumpin.
There is a good book on the subject;
Exchange & Outlook
Constructing Collaborative Solutions
Joel Semeniuk & Duncan Mackenzie
Macmillan Technical Publishing USA
Since my primary need was to access email, I set up my own POP3 server on my
NT host (EZMTS Freeware), and had this support group set automatic
forwarding of a copy of each email that hit key mailboxes to my server, and
read them there using the PHP IMAP functions, works great, but I am still
blind as to contents of the exchange address book, which at our shop is
somehow tied to LDAP (couldn't get at it that way either).
very frustrating,

Whell, I don;t know what is wrong with your version of apache, but the
differends between the POST en GET-methode is, that the GET methode is used
if you whant to recieve data back on you screen.
The POST-methode is used only for sending things somewere (like an email, or
variables to anouther page or something like that).
You can not recieve data back then.
That's all (in short terms).
I hope that answers you second question.

I don't really know what you mean, but I think you whant to send variables
from a form or something (page, or whatever).
And then what would you want to do with it?
If you whant to use it write away, use the "header"-methode.
If you whant to use it after leaving the page in anouther page, then use the
methode you descriped yourself.
I hope this helps a little bit.
If not, let me know.

By the way, does anyone of you knows how to make a lot of changes in Apache?
I need to configurate it for a network, but I have a porblem.
See teh topic: using apache on a network.

Hi, I have installed PHPTraid so, that went OK.
But I have a network and I would like to see the pages on the computers that

I tried a lot of things already and I have one problem:
when I type in that he must Listen to <IP computer> then everytime I'm not
connected to to the network, my computer with the apache server can't run.
And anouther problemm that I have is: that when I try to go to the site on
one of the connected computers in my network, I have to have an
internetconnection to view the pages (I also use a port to listen to in the
file) but when I have my internetconnection it isn't used only the network
is used, how can I make it work without the use of an internetconnection?
M.B.
I already have lots of sugestions, but the all don't seem to work.
So if one of you would knwo something more about it, please tell me.

Try making it listen to all ip addresses instead of simply the network
ip.
Listen 0.0.0.0:80

I installed PHP 4.2.3 using the installer from PHP.net
I can send the test.php file to the php.exe, and I get the right html code.
However, trying to open the same test.php in IE 6 won't produce anything.
The window gets the right title, all html is displayed right, but nothing
between <?php ?> is executed.
I have tried to change most of the settings in Internet Information
Services, the extension .php under configuration is also set to
C:\PHP\php.exe, etc...
What should I look at next?
Thanks,
Pascal
