MCAL stands for Modular Calendar Access
Library.
Libmcal is a C library for accessing calendars.
It's written to be very modular, with pluggable
drivers. MCAL is the calendar equivalent of the IMAP
module for mailboxes.
With mcal support, a calendar stream can be opened
much like the mailbox stream with the IMAP support.
Calendars can be local file stores, remote ICAP
servers, or other formats that are supported by the
mcal library.
Calendar events can be pulled up, queried, and
stored. There is also support for calendar triggers
(alarms) and recurring events.
With libmcal, central calendar servers can be
accessed, removing the need for any specific database
or local file programming.
Most of the functions use an internal event
structure that is unique for each stream. This
alleviates the need to pass around large objects
between functions. There are convenience functions for
setting, initializing, and retrieving the event
structure values.
注: PHP had an ICAP extension previously, but the original library and the PHP extension is not supported anymore. The suggested replacement is MCAL.
注: This extension is not available on Windows platforms.
This extension requires the mcal library to be
installed. Grab the latest version from
http://mcal.chek.com/ and compile and install
it.
After you installed the mcal library, to get these
functions to work, you have to compile PHP -with-mcal[=DIR].
