Ok, since no-one else entered I might as well post my code :) It doesn't take user input purely because I'm too lazy to make a form, but you get the idea

PHP Code:


			
<?php

/**

 * Generates a new task and adds it to Outlook

 * This PHP script must be run on the same machine as Outlook for it to work

 */



// Connect to Outlook using the Com interface

try

{

    $comOutlook = new Com('Outlook.Application');

}

catch (Exception $e)

{

    die('Unable to connect to Outlook: ' . $e->getMessage());

}



// Create the new task

try

{

    $newTask = $comOutlook->CreateItem(3);



    // Task details - full list of properties: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb177256.aspx

    $newTask->Subject = 'Visit TalkPHP';

    $newTask->Body = 'Do not forget to visit TalkPHP today!';

    $newTask->DueDate = '01/28/08';



    // Save the new task

    $newTask->Save();

    echo 'Task Added';

}

catch (Exception $e)

{

    die('Unable to create new task: ' . $e->getMessage());

}
