使用 PHP 访问 Exchange 的最佳方式？
我正在用 PHP 编写一个 CMS 应用程序，要求之一是它必须能够与客户的 Exchange 服务器连接。 我之前已经多次编写过此功能，并且一直使用 WebDAV 来执行此操作，但是现在我正在远离这个。
我将在 Windows Server 2008 上的 IIS 或 Apache（无偏好）上运行该网站。我需要做的一些事情包括将联系人添加到给定用户的地址簿、作为给定用户发送电子邮件以及运行有关联系人的报告。用户。
所有这些都可以通过 WebDAV 轻松完成，但如果有更好的方法不需要任何可能很快就会被弃用的功能。
有任何想法吗？
更新：
贾斯汀，我喜欢使用 com 对象的想法，我只担心维护第三个产品以使一切正常工作...
约翰，我可以用 C# 编写一个 Web 服务来与这些功能交互并使用我的 PHP 访问它应用程序，但它也有点偏僻。
到目前为止，我并不是 100% 相信这两者都比 WebDAV 更好……
谁能告诉我我哪里傻了？
I'm writing a CMS application in PHP and one of the requirements is that it must be able to interface with the customer's Exchange server. I've written up this functionality a few times before and have always used WebDAV to do it, but now I'm leaning away from that.
I will be running the site on IIS OR Apache (no preference) on Windows server 2008. A few things I would need to do include adding contacts to a given user's address book, sending emails as a given user and running reports on contacts for a user.
All of this is pretty easy to do with WebDAV, but if there is a better way that doesn't require any functionality that is likely to be deprecated any time soon.
Any ideas?
Update:
Justin, I love the idea of using com objects, I just worry about maintaining a 3rd product to make everything work...
John, I can write a web service in C# to interface with for these functions and access it with my PHP app, but it's also a little bit out of the way.
So far, I'm not 100% convinced that either of these is better than WebDAV...
Can anyone show me where I'm being silly?

十多年来，这个问题和事情都在发生变化。 Microsft 现在有 Rest API 可让您轻松访问此数据。
原始答案
我没有使用 PHP 来做到这一点，但有使用 C# 来实现同样的事情的经验。
Outlook API 是一种自动化 Outlook 的方法，而不是直接连接到 Exchange。 我之前在 C# 应用程序中采用过这种方法，它确实有效，但可能存在错误。
如果您希望直接连接到 Exchange 服务器，则需要研究扩展 MAPI。
过去我使用过这个包装器 MAPIEx：扩展 MAPI 包装器。
这是一个 C# 项目，但我相信您可以在 PHP5 Windows 服务器上使用一些 .NET 代码。 或者，它有一个您可以使用的 C++ 核心 DLL。 我发现它非常好，并且有一些很好的示例应用程序。
对于延迟，我们深表歉意，目前还没有方法来跟踪帖子。
我确实同意在您的应用程序中添加更多层并依赖第 3 方代码可能会很可怕（这是理所当然的。）
今天我读了另一篇 有趣的帖子，标记为 MAPI，涉及不同的主题。 但这里的关键是它已链接到 这篇重要的 MS 文章。 到目前为止，我一直没有意识到使用托管代码与 MAPI 接口的问题，尽管组件中的 C++ 代码应该不受此错误的影响，因为它是非托管的。
此博客文章还建议了连接到 MAPI/Exchange 服务器的其他方法。 在这种情况下，由于这些新事实 https://www.php.net/imap 可能是按照其他用户的建议回答。
Update as of 2020:
Over a decade since this question and things have moved on. Microsft now has a Rest API that will allow you to easily access this data.
Original Answer
I have not used PHP to do this but have experience in using C# to achieve the same thing.
The Outlook API is a way of automating Outlook rather than connecting to Exchange directly. I have previously taken this approach in a C# application and it does work although can be buggy.
If you wish to connect directly to the Exchange server you will need to research extended MAPI.
In the past I used this wrapper MAPIEx: Extended MAPI Wrapper.
It is a C# project but I believe you can use some .NET code on a PHP5 Windows server. Alternatively it has a C++ core DLL that you may be a able to use. I have found it to be very good and there are some good example applications.
Sorry for the delay no current way to keep track of posts yet.
I do agree adding more layer on to your application and relying on 3rd party code can be scary (and rightfully so.)
Today I read another interesting post tagged up as MAPI that is on a different subject. The key thing here though is that it has linked to this important MS article. I have been unaware of the issues until now on using managed code to interface to MAPI although the C++ code in the component should be unaffected by this error as it is unmanaged.
This blog entry also suggests other ways to connect to MAPI/Exchange server. In this case due to these new facts https://www.php.net/imap may be the answer as suggested by the other user.
您的客户使用 Exchange 2007 吗？ 如果是这样，我会看看 Exchange Web Services< /a>. 如果没有，尽管可能很棘手，但我认为 WebDAV 是您最好的选择。
就我个人而言，我不喜欢使用 Outlook.Application COM 对象路由，因为它的安全提示（“应用程序正在尝试访问您的联系人。允许这样做吗？”等）可能会导致服务器出现问题。 我还认为使用 Outlook 完成类似模拟的任务（例如作为给定用户发送邮件）会很困难。
Is your customer using Exchange 2007? If so, I'd have a look at Exchange Web Services. If not, as hairy as it can be, I think WebDAV is your best bet.
Personally I don't like using the Outlook.Application COM object route, as its security prompts ("An application is attempting to access your contacts. Allow this?", etc.) can cause problems on a server. I also think it would be difficult to accomplish your impersonation-like tasks using Outlook, such as sending mail as a given user.
我发布了一个 MIT 许可的开源库，它允许您使用 Exchange Web 服务在 PHP 中执行一些基本操作。
Exchange Web Services for PHP
我只在 Linux 上测试过它，但我不知道我看不出有什么理由说明它不能在 Windows 安装的 PHP 上运行。
I have released an open-source MIT licensed library that allows you to do some basic operations in PHP using Exchange Web Services.
Exchange Web Services for PHP
I have only tested it on Linux but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a Windows installation of PHP as well.
我对 Dmitry Streblechenko 的兑换数据对象库的推荐度不够高。 它是一个 COM 组件，为扩展 MAPI 提供了健全的 API，并且使用起来很有趣。 Exchange API 的目标从一个版本转移到下一个版本：“使用 M: 驱动器！ 不，使用 WebDAV！ 不，使用 ExOLEDB！...不，使用 Web 服务！” 唯一不变的是旧的 MAPI。
I can't recommend Dmitry Streblechenko's Redemption Data Objects library highly enough. It's a COM component that provides a sane API to Extended MAPI and is a joy to use. The Exchange API goalposts move from one release to the next: “Use the M: drive! No, use WebDAV! No, use ExOLEDB!… No, use Web Services!” with the only constant being good old MAPI.
我不是 PHP 开发人员，但 Google 说 PHP 5+ 可以实例化 COM 组件。 如果您可以在盒子上安装 Outlook，您可以围绕 COM 组件编写 PHP Web 服务来处理您需要的请求。
Outlook API 参考
I'm not a PHP dev but Google says that PHP 5+ can instantiate COM components. If you can install Outlook on a box you could write a PHP web service around the COM component to handle the requests you need.

我建议使用 "PHP Exchange Web Services" 或简短的 php-ews。
wiki 下有大量文档，对我有帮助很多。
I would recommend using "PHP Exchange Web Services" or short php-ews.
Fair amount of documentation under the wiki, helped me a lot.
这个 Zarafa PHP MAPI 扩展看起来可以工作。
This Zarafa PHP MAPI extension looks like it could work.
我会研究 IMAP
